If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Programming Exercise Help
It's stated as a int?
Re: Programming Exercise Help
What happens to 0.004 when it is converted to an int?
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Programming Exercise Help
Doesn't it round down to 0? So it has to be double?
Re: Programming Exercise Help
0.004 is a double and doesn't need to be cast to double.

Re: Programming Exercise Help
Okay, well I'm not sure what I'm suppose to see.
Re: Programming Exercise Help
I don't understand your last post. What does "suppose to see" mean?
Do you know what is causing interest to be zero?
Do you know how to change the code to keep interest from being zero?
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Programming Exercise Help
No to both of those questions, sorry..
Re: Programming Exercise Help
What did you mean in post#29? "round down to 0"
Do some experimenting with casting double values to int to see what happens. Write a short test program with this statement. Compile and execute it:
Change the 4.3 to different double values to see what happensSystem.println((int)4.3); // see what cast to int does
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Programming Exercise Help
No idea what to do man, sorry. I might just go skip this assignment.
Re: Programming Exercise Help
Do you know how to write a small program for testing a statement?
