Welcome!

Please post your code examples using -

System.out.printf("%s\t%3d%11.2f\t%12.2f\t%15.2/n",MA,PP,IP,NB);

System.out.printf("Year%s Totals: Principle: %.2fInterest: %.2fBalance: %.2f/n",PT,IT,NB);

Both of these lines have several problems. Each ends in "/n" instead of "\n". Each is missing an argument - the number of format specifiers is one more than the arguments supplied.

The first line is missing a string to match "%s". The second field is "%3d" but the argument supplied is a double. The last field specified in the first line has no argument type - "%15.2f".

The second line is also missing it's first argument - a string.
