This is a simple mortgage calculator and it compiles but I am totally
confused on the calculation to get it to work. Can someone help me a little.



import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class Cbweek1b {

double a, t, i, payments;
JLabel amountLbl, termLbl, IntrateLbl, paymentsLbl;
JTextField amountTf, termTf, intrateTf, paymentsTf;
JButton calcBtn;
JFrame frame;
Font font;

public Cbweek1b() {
System.out.println("Starting Mortgage Calculator GUI.");

font = new Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,24);

amountLbl = new JLabel("Loan Amount");
termLbl = new JLabel("Terms");
IntrateLbl = new JLabel("Interest Rate");
paymentsLbl = new JLabel("Monthly amount");


amountTf = new JTextField();
termTf = new JTextField();
intrateTf = new JTextField();
paymentsTf = new JTextField();

calcBtn = new JButton("Calculate");

amountLbl.setFont(font);
termLbl.setFont(font);
IntrateLbl.setFont(font);
paymentsLbl.setFont(font);
amountTf.setFont(font);
termTf.setFont(font);
intrateTf.setFont(font);
paymentsTf.setFont(font);
calcBtn.setFont(font);

frame = new JFrame("Mortgage Calculator");
frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(6,6));
frame.add(amountLbl);
frame.add(amountTf);
frame.add(termLbl);
frame.add(termTf);
frame.add(IntrateLbl);
frame.add(intrateTf);
frame.add(paymentsLbl);
frame.add(paymentsTf);
frame.add(calcBtn);


frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);

calcBtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
calculate();
}
});

frame.setLocation(300, 200);
// frame.setSize(300, 300);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);

}

public static void main(String[] args) {
new Cbweek1b();
}

private void calculate() {
double a = Double.parseDouble(amountTf.getText());
double t = Double.parseDouble(termTf.getText());
double i = Double.parseDouble(intrateTf.getText());
double payments = a * t;
paymentsTf.setText("" + payments);
}
}

What is the behavior you see? I assume you can click on the button to
perform the calculation but the result is incorrect. How is it
incorrect? What inputs are you using and what output are you getting?
