Hi,

you declared variable is "investment" but u assigned value to "Investment" variable. then you should give the expression like this p*(1+(r/100))*y. It will work.

I fixed it like this,

public class Investment2
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
double p, r, y;
double z;

p = (3500.00);
r = (3.6);
y = (25);
z = p*(1+(r/100))*y;


Output.showValue("Your Future Investment Value is", z);

} // method main

} // class Investment2
