MITS4002: Object-Oriented Software Development - Loan Calculator

This document presents a solution to a programming assignment for MITS4002, focusing on developing a loan calculator program. The assignment requires students to create a program that calculates and displays monthly and total payments for a given loan amount and period, across a range of interest rates. The solution includes the problem description, analysis of the problem including inputs and outputs, design steps for the program, source code formatted using Courier 10pts, a screenshot of the program's output, and a description of the testing process. The program calculates payments for interest rates ranging from 5% to 8% with increments of 0.125%. The document showcases the application of programming principles to solve a practical financial problem, demonstrating the use of loops and mathematical formulas to generate the required output. The assignment aims to test the students' understanding of programming concepts, problem-solving skills, and the ability to translate a real-world problem into a software solution.

MITS4002 Activity 07
Project: Comparing Loans
Problem Description:
Write a program that lets the user enter the loan amount and loan period in number of
years and displays the monthly and total payments for each interest rate starting from 5%
to 8%, with an increment of 1/8. Here is a sample run:
<Output>
Loan Amount: 10000
Number of Years: 5
Interest Rate Monthly Payment Total Payment
5.000% 188.71 11322.74
5.125% 189.28 11357.13
5.250% 189.85 11391.59
...
7.875% 202.17 12129.97
8.000% 202.76 12165.83
<End output>
Use the formulas below to compute monthly payment and total payment.
mont h lyPayment=loanAmount∗mont h lyInterestRate
1− 1
