Simple Method Question

I have the following code, and I want to make the return statement loop but i'm not sure exactly what i'm doing wrong or if it is even possible.

Code:

---

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
public class investment {
 
        public static void main(String[] args) {
               
                String dataString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
                "Enter the investment amount: ");
                double amount = Integer.parseInt(dataString);
                               
                String dataString1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
                "Enter the interest rate: ");
                double interest = Integer.parseInt(dataString1);
               
                String dataString2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
                "Enter the amount of years: ");
                int years = Integer.parseInt(dataString2);
               
                System.out.println("Years" + "      " + "Yearly Amount");
                System.out.println("______" + "      " + "____________");
               
       
                System.out.println(investment(amount,interest,years));
 
 
        }
       
        public static double investment(double investmentAmount, double monthlyInterestRate, int years){
                       
 
                        double realrate = monthlyInterestRate / 100;
                        double monthlyPayment = investmentAmount * realrate / (1 - 1 / Math.pow(1 + realrate, years * 12));
                        total = monthlyPayment + investmentAmount;
                       
 
                        for (i = 1; i <= years; i++)
                                double realtotal = total + monthlyPayment
                                System.out.println(i);
                                return realtotal;
                        }
        }

---

I want the output to look something like:
Year 1 - 1093
Year 2 - 1186
Year 3 - 1279
and so forth looping through the amount of years

Once a return statement is executed the method is exited and the code returns to where the method was called.

I would suggest using an array to return your values.

Yes, return statement can't loop several times. What you can do is, store your results in an array and return it. It's easy.
