help with calculator

[kalibballer]

i need help with my assignment for this week. i need to modify my mortgage calculator program to allow the user to input the amount of a mortgage and then select from a menu of mortgage loans: 7 years at 5.35%, 15 years at 5.5%, and 30 years at 5.75%. Use an array for the different loans. display the mortgage payment amount. Then, list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan.

The code posted below is my best work to reflect these changes, but my program will not execute. Can someone tell me why my program won't run properly and what is missing? any help will be appreciated thanks

Ok, what you have tried and what are the issues you come across with? Testing a long code and see a mess lol.

[kalibballer]

i get this error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

at calculator.main(calculator.java:131)

[Eranga]

What you have on line 131? Can you show it here.

[kalibballer]

myComboBox = new JComboBox(termRates);

[mtyoung]

[kalibballer]

[mtyoung]

JPanel LabelPane;

[Eranga]

sorry i am new to this. what would i declare?

Is that code return by you? Seems you have no idea about the code.
