Hey guys, I have to create a C++ program that prompts the use to enter and amount two things. It asks the user for the Mortgage amount and the interest rate and from there it does the math to figure out the monthly payments, I did it correctly, or so I thought. Now the code wont compile, can you please tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it? THANKS GUYS!

My Code:

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <cmath>
 
int main()
{
  double years = 30;
  
  double M; 
  cout << "What's the mortgage amount? "; 
  cin >> M; 
  cin.ignore(1000, 10);

  double I; 
  cout << "What's the annual interest rate? "; 
  cin >> I; 
  cin.ignore(1000, 10);

  double A = I/12;
  double T = years * 3;

  double prob1 = (M*(1+I)T*I);
  double prob2 = ((1+I)T-1);
  double W = prob1/prob2;

  cout << fixed; 

  cout << "its " << W << endl;
  
  return 0;
}

MOD EDIT: When posting code...USE CODE TAGS!!!

The compiler hasn't been taught implicit multiplication. When you want to multiply two expressions you have to put a multiplication operator * between them.

Which part of the code were you referring to when you mentioned the multiplication? Could you possibly post the equation for me in the correct way?

[r.stiltskin]

(1+I)T should be (1+I)*T

That is, assuming you're actually supposed to be multiplying (1+I) times T. I didn't mean to imply that I have checked your formulas or your logic (I haven't). I was only looking at your syntax to find the reason for compilation errors.
