I'm still a newbie with Java and I cant figure out why i'm getting errors on my math calculations. I've tried it every way I know how, maybe someone can give me a few pointers?

import java.math.*;

public class mortgage
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
  int l = 250000;//loan amount
  double r = 0.0048;//interest rate compounded monthly
  int n = 360;//number of payments
  int payment = p;//monthly payment
  int balance = b;//balance of loan after each payment
  p = l[r(1 + r)^n]/[(1 + r)^n - 1];//errors occur on this line
  //printing results
  System.out.println("Monthly payment = " + Math.round(p));//errors on this line as well

      while (int p < 0) p = -359//Mortgage Table//this part is not finished yet
      b = l[(1 + r)^n - (1 + r)^p]/[(1 + r)^n - 1];
      System.out.println("Balance = " + p); //counter used for loop
      p++;
  }
}

 public class mortgage     
 {     
   public static void main(String[] args)     
   {     
   int l = 250000;//loan amount     
   double r = 0.0048;//interest rate compounded monthly     
   int n = 360;//number of payments    
   int p = l[r(1 + r)^n]/[(1 + r)^n - 1]; //errors do longer occur on this line   int payment = p; //monthly payment     
   int balance = b;//balance of loan after each payment     
      
   //printing results     
   System.out.println("Monthly payment = " + Math.round(p));//errors on this line as well     
 
       while (int p < 0) p = -359//Mortgage Table//this part is not finished yet     
       b = l[(1 + r)^n - (1 + r)^p]/[(1 + r)^n - 1];     
       System.out.println("Balance = " + p); //counter used for loop     
       p++;     
   }     
 }

       p++;     
   }

Blizzie, not entirely correct, the variable 'p' is being redefined in the while loop, actually that code should give you compiling errors, or it shouldn't work.

 import java.math.*;  
 
 public class mortgage  
 {  
    public static void main(String[] args)  
    {  
    int l = 250000;//loan amount  
    double r = 0.0048;//interest rate compounded monthly  
    int n = 360;//number of payments  
    int balance = b;//balance of loan after each payment  
    int p = l[r(1 + r)^n]/[(1 + r)^n - 1];//errors occur on this line  
    int payment = p;//monthly payment; this is not used anywhere 
    //printing results  
    System.out.println("Monthly payment = " + Math.round(p));//errors on this line as well  
 
         while (p < 0) {  
           // stuff happens here  
           p = -359;//Mortgage Table//this part is not finished yet  
         }  
 
        b = l[(1 + r)^n - (1 + r)^p]/[(1 + r)^n - 1];  
        System.out.println("Balance = " + p); //counter used for loop  
        p++;  
    }  
 } 

   int p = l(r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1);
