File problem!

lisagimros (8)
Hi! I need help with saving data into a text file. What I did won't work and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I just need the results to save into a separate file that I have created in the project folder, after all of the calculations.

Also the loop must break if the balance is zero in any iteration and I don't think my program does that..

Can someone please help me with these two problems?

//If the balance is less than zero in any iteration, you must break your loop and send the information to the file along with a message.

It works for me, the balance isn't right but it outputs to a file.

check your math
 
 
        monthlyInterestEarned = accountBalance * (annualInterest / 12);
