I'm trying to make a basic command-line accounting application in Java and this is what I have come up with so far:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Accounting {
public static void main(String[] args) {
while(true){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String userinput = input.nextLine();
String[] parts = userinput.split(" ");
String part1 = parts[0];
String part2 = parts[1];
String part3 = parts[2];
int a = Integer.parseInt(part1);
float r = Float.parseFloat(part2);
int t = Integer.parseInt(part3);
int Total = (int) Math.pow(a + ( 1 + ( r / 100 )), t);
System.out.println(Total);
You put in 3 inputs amount, rate, and time. I was told the formula is Total = a(1+(r/100))^t
. Whenever i put an input like 25000 6.9 15 i get a number over 2 billion (2147483647) Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Try it like this:
double total = a*Math.pow(1.0+(r/100.0), t);
