Hi,
Having problems trying to output my code, I figure that there is
something wrong with the for loops but can't get my head around it.
Would appreciate some help . thanks Shannon

import javax.swing.*;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;

public class ScrollBar {
public static void main( String args[] ) {
{

   double amount;
   double principal = 1000.0;

   //create NumberFormat for currency in US dollar Format
   NumberFormat moneyFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(
Locale.US );

   JTextArea outputArea = new JTextArea( 17, 50 );

   JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane( outputArea );

   String output = ( "Year\tAmount on
deposit\t5%\t6%\t7%\t8%\t9%\t10%\n ");

   for ( double year = 1; year <= 10; year ++ ) {

   //calculate amount of deposit for each of ten years
   for ( double rate = .05; rate <= .10; rate += 0.01 )  {
       //calculate interest rate

              outputArea.setText( output );

           //calculate new amount for specified year
           amount = principal * Math.pow( 1.0 + rate, year);

           //append one line of text to outputArea
           outputArea.append( year + "\t" + principal + "\t" +
moneyFormat.format( amount ) +
                                     "\t" + moneyFormat.format( amount
) +
                                     "\t" + moneyFormat.format( amount
) +
                                     "\t" + moneyFormat.format( amount
) +
                                     "\t" + moneyFormat.format( amount
) +
                                     "\t" + moneyFormat.format( amount
) + "\n" );
                                   } //end for
                               }

   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, scroller, "Results",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE );
   
   System.exit( 0 );
