My while loop has run into an infinite loop...?

I have to write a program that computes a close enough value for the half-life of carbon-14 using comparison of floating point numbers. The while loop should be controlled by a comparison of half of the initial amount and the computed amount remaining. I'm confused as to how to get the number of years because my while loop becomes infinite and I dont know how to stop it. The value should be around 5000 years. Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

Code Java:

---

public class Lab321
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    final double EPSILON = 1.0E-7;
    final double DECAY = 1.14E-4;
 
    double initialAmount = 2.0E-5;
    double computedAmount = initialAmount - (DECAY / 100) * initialAmount;
    int year = 0;
 
    while (Math.abs(computedAmount - 1.0E-5) > EPSILON)
    {
      year++;
      double amountRemaining = initialAmount - (DECAY / 100) * initialAmount;
      System.out.println(amountRemaining);
    }
    System.out.println("The approximate value for the half life of carbon-14 is " + year + " years.");
  }
}

At no point in your loop are you modifying the value of computedAmount. Also, even if you replaced amountRemaining with computedAmount, the value you're assigning is an unchanging value.

Well I modified my code and I'm finally getting a number for years. But it's a very big number, about 599296 years.
This is my modified code...

Code Java:

public class Lab321
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    final double EPSILON = 1.0E-7;
    final double DECAY = 1.14E-4;
    final double INITIAL_AMOUNT = 2.0E-5;
    final double IDEAL = 2.0E-5 / 2;
 
    double amount = INITIAL_AMOUNT;  
    int year = 0;
 
    while (Math.abs(amount - IDEAL) > EPSILON)
    {
      year++;
      double decay = DECAY / 100 * amount;
      amount = amount - decay;
    }  
      System.out.println("The approximate value for the half life of carbon-14 is " + year + " years.");
  }
}

without knowing the specifics of how you're calculating the half-life, it's difficult to figure out what's wrong. However, I suspect that the problem is dividing by 100 as your ~100x off.
