Integral enum problems

Sspangler (33)
I'm getting an errors, it is on line 26 saying it must have integral or enum type. i think it has to do with IM being a float because when i changed it from int to float it became an error. Thanks in advance.

int main ()
{

	float total;
	int Month = 1;
	float PR;
	float IY;
	int NY;
	int NM;
	float IM;
	float P;
	float Q;
	float MP;
	float Interest;
	float balance;

	printf("Amount of the loan (principal)?");
	scanf("%d", &PR);
	printf("Intrest rate per year (percent)");
	scanf("%d", &IY);
	printf("Number of years?");
	scanf("%d", NY);

	NM = NY * 12;
	IM = (IY / 12) / 100;
	P = (1 + IM) ^ NM;
	Q = (P/ (P - 1));
	MP = (PR * IM * Q);
	Interest = PR * IM;

	printf("The amount of the loan (principal): %d", PR);
	printf("Intrest rate/year (percent): %d", IY);
	printf("Intrest rate/month (decimal): %d", IM);
	printf("Number of years: %d", NY);
	printf("number of months: %d", NM);
	printf("Monthly payment: %F", MP);
	printf("\n");



	printf("Month\t Old Balance\t Monthly Payment\t Interest Paid\n Principal Paid\t New Balance");

		while (Month <= NM)
		{
			printf("%d\t %f\t %F\t %f\t %f\t %f", Month++, PR - (MP - Interest), MP, Interest, MP - Interest,  PR - (MP - Interest));
			total += MP + Interest;
		}

		printf("%f", total);

return 0;

I know that but that doesn't fix my problem

^ is the bitwise xor operator and is not defined for floating point numbers.

If what you want to do is NM to be the exponent you should use std::pow.
