What statement would be good for making a loan amortization table? Did I do this right so far?

public class Week4_Mortgage {
	public static void main(String []args)
	{
		//declare variables
		double RateofLoan;
		double TermofLoan;
		double AmountofMortgage;
		double MonthlyPayment;

		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		int userChoice = input.nextInt(); // returns the next integer

		//Display decimal point format
		DecimalFormat decimalPlaces=new DecimalFormat("0.00");

		//Prompt user to choose the method to calculate the mortgage
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		int userChoice = 0;

		do  {
			System.out.printIn("Please choose the method to use for the mortgage calculation");
			userChoice = input.nextInt();

		}

		while(userChoice != 1 && userChoice != 2);

		if (userChoice) == 1) {

			//Display the first method
			 MonthlyPayment = (AmountofMortgage * InterestofLoan) / (1 - Math.pow(1 + InterestofLoan - TermofLoan));

		 }

		 else if (userChoice == 2) {

			 //Display the second method
			 MonthlyPayment = MonthlyPayment (InterestofLoan / (1 - Math.pow(1 + InterestofLoan) * - TermofLoan));

		 }

			   //Display calculation used for the mortgage calculation
				MonthlyPayment = (AmountofMortgage * InterestofLoan) / (1 - Math.pow(1 + InterestofLoan - TermofLoan));


				//Display the amount of each loan
		 		TotalofLoan=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter the Amount of each Loan");
		 		AmountofLoan = Double.parseDouble(TotalofLoan);


		 		//Display interest rate
		 		InterestofLoan=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter the Interest Rate in decimals");
		 		LoanInterest = Double.parse.Double(InterestofLoan)*12;

		 		//End of display interest rate

		 		//Display loan term
		 		MortgageTerm=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter the term of each loan");
				TermofLoan = Integer.parseInt(MortgageTerm)*12;

This is probably the most common problem given to students every semester. Search this site for "mortgage calculator" and you'll see several threads to chose from.

So far looks pretty good. As Programmist said, there's probably a million topics like this.

As for your question, I just recently did this.

I created methods that determine the Loan and stuff, like getLoan(), etc., stuff like that.

Then, I called those methods in a voidmainstringarg, with utilization of the Scanner (I think thats java.util.* library).

So, I did mine differently, but what you have looks good so far.

The drinking game has begun!

What kind of liquor?

Damn. I guess I did say that I'd take a sip everytime someone said "mortgage calculator."

Ah, but you did say the beginning of each semester. And as far as I know, it's the end of the semester for most people.
