i need help with my assignment for this week. i need to modify my mortgage calculator program to allow the user to input the amount of a mortgage and then select from a menu of mortgage loans: 7 years at 5.35%, 15 years at 5.5%, and 30 years at 5.75%. Use an array for the different loans. display the mortgage payment amount. Then, list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan.

The code posted below is my best work to reflect these changes, but my program will not execute.
i get this error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

at calculator.main(calculator.java:131)
Can someone tell me why my program won't run properly and what is missing? any help will be appreciated thanks
