Answer 8

To help you get started, here is a rough outline of the stages you should probably follow in writing your code:

For each month (use a loop to go through each month of the year):
- Compute the monthly payment, based on the previous month’s balance.
- Update the outstanding balance by removing the payment, then charging interest on the result.
- Output the month, the minimum monthly payment and the remaining balance.
- Keep track of the total amount of paid over all the past months so far. (use a variable and keep adding the amount paid every month)
- Print out the result statement with the total amount paid and the remaining balance.

Use these ideas to guide the creation of your code.

Let me know how your attempt goes!

Answer 9

Yes, if you ever have problems as to where to start. The best thing to do is write down what you know, what you want to get and the steps needed to get there like Chris did above. Start very basic then expand on it. Even if your start is simply.

I know this and this.
I need to calculate this.
This will be my output.

Then expand on how to do the middle part similar to Chris's above.
