    Default code issue, should be silple been working on it for four hours

    Any idea why this is not working. public void setResultValue2() should be putting data in the " textArea2.setText(Double.toString(result2));"

     
    //public class week2 {

    why this is not working.
    Could you please explain what is "not working"?
    Post the full text of the error messages if any.

    There is not an error message. Just a lack of action. if you run it as an app there is a text box in the bottom that needs to receive data. public void setResultValue2() should be setting text in textArea2. At this point I don't care about the math I just want some product to show up there.

    Where in your code is the action to happen?
    Where is this method call?
    textArea2.setText(

    You aren't doing anything after calculating...
    public void setResultValue2()
    	{
    		double PRINCIPLE = Double.parseDouble(MORTGAGEpaymentTEXT.getText());
    		double term = Double.parseDouble(TERMtextBOX.getText());
    		double rate = Double.parseDouble(INTERESTrateTEXT.getText());
    		double result2 = (PRINCIPLE * ( rate/12))/(1-( Math.pow (1/( 1 +(rate/12)), (term*12))));
    	}
    You should be either returning something after this (if the return type wasn't void) or setting the Text yourself.

    public void setResultValue2()
    	{
    		double PRINCIPLE = Double.parseDouble(MORTGAGEpaymentTEXT.getText());
    		double term = Double.parseDouble(TERMtextBOX.getText());
    		double rate = Double.parseDouble(INTERESTrateTEXT.getText());
    		double result2 = (PRINCIPLE * ( rate/12))/(1-( Math.pow (1/( 1 +(rate/12)), (term*12))));
                    // textArea2.setText(Double.toString(result2)); //this is your code, but I do not see anything that defines textArea2
                    // maybe you got your variable names confused
    	}
