Help!

I coded my project and I made two changes. I took those changes out and set the project back to the original form. It was running correctly before and displaying the different values in the loop. Now it only displays the same value which is the first value. Need help. This is frustrating. Thanks.

princPaid = monPay - intsPaid;
amLoanNxt = amLoanOne - princPaid;

System.out.println("Interest for this year is $" + Math.round(intsPaid)+ ".");
//calculates the total payment amount for 30 years with interest rate of 5.75%
System.out.println("Mortgage payment amount is $" + Math.round(monPay)+ ".");
System.out.println("Loan balance amount is $" + Math.round(amLoanNxt)+ ".");
}
}
}

At first glance, without running the code, I'm noticing something that could easily be the issue.

On these three lines of code:

intsPaid = amLoanOne*monIntRate; 
princPaid = monPay - intsPaid;
amLoanNxt = amLoanOne - princPaid;

...you appear to overwrite the values of intsPaid, princPaid, and amLoanNxt with constant values from outside of the loop. My guess is that these three lines should be before the loop.

PS: When posting code, please use CODE tags. ([code][/code])

Thanks. I will keep this in mind.
