Essay title: Mortgage Calculator W/ Gui (wk 4)
Filename: MortCalc.java
/*
Version: 1.0 - Initial version
2.0 - Modified the mortgage program from Week 2 to add a list of the loan
balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan
(amortization table). Added loops and pauses for legibility purposes.
2.1 - Broke calculations down into three different methods for assignment
requirements.
3.0 - Modified the mortgage program from version 1.0 to display 3 mortgage
loans. Included all mortgage functionality in one class and created a
separate class that instantiates the first and displays the mortgage
payment amount for each loan. Removed amortization table function.
4.0 - Add a GUI interface and loop and remove the preset loan values.
5.0 - Create buttons for 3 preset loan rates & terms. Also changed interface
to a set size to increase visual appeal and user-friendliness. Added an
amortization table to display loan & interest paid amounts for every payment.
6.0 - Combine the previous two versions: an option to enter custom loan variables
as well as the 3 preset options.
7.0 - Modified the program to read the preset mortgage rates from a file, and
added a chart.
Purpose: Calculate the monthly payment amount for a mortgage loan using a GUI interface.
