I am currently writing a C++ program that has to calculate and display the monthly mortgage payment amount using the amout of the mortgage, the term, and interest rate as input by the user. Next, I have to list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. On terms that are longer, the list may scroll off, I have to set the program that will not allow users to scroll off but instead display a partial list and allow the user to continue the list. I have to allow the user to loop back and enter new data or just quit. I have part of my code set up, I am just stuck on lists, so any direction will be greatly appreciated.
