Buttons do not function properly in mortgage application

[LadiPrather]

When I press the 7 year with 5.35% the amort table goes across the screen instead of down. When I press the 30 year with 5.75% it exit the program. I cannot figure out what I did wrong, will someone please check and help quick. Here are my codes.

  //Set up and initialize buttons for GUI
       bCalc7 = new JButton ("7 Year, 5.32%");
       bCalc7.setActionCommand ("Calculate7");
       bCalc15 = new JButton ("15 Years, 5.50%");
       bCalc15.setActionCommand ("Calculate15");
       bCalc30 = new JButton ("30 Years, 5.75%");
       bCalc30.setActionCommand ("Calculate30");
       bClear = new JButton ("Clear All Fields");
       bClear.setActionCommand ("Clear");
       bExit = new JButton ("Exit Program");
       bExit.setActionCommand ("Exit");

       //Set up labels and field sizes for GUI
       labelTitle = new JLabel ("McBride Mortgage Calculator V3.5");
       labelInstructions = new JLabel ("Enter the amount of the Loan and then choose the term/rate of the loan.");
       labelPayment = new JLabel ("Monthly Payment:");
       labelLoanAmount = new JLabel ("Amount of Loan:");
       fieldPayment = new JTextField ("", 12);
       fieldLoanAmount = new JTextField ("", 10);
       labelAmortTable = new JLabel ("Amortization Table");
       areaAmortTable = new JTextArea (10, 300);

       JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane (areaAmortTable, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,
               JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);

         //Set up listerners for each button
       bCalc7.addActionListener (this);
       bCalc15.addActionListener (this);
       bCalc30.addActionListener (this);
       bClear.addActionListener (this);
       bExit.addActionListener (this);

       //Construct GUI and set layout
       JPanel calu = new JPanel();
       calu.setLayout (null);

       calu.add (labelTitle);
       labelTitle.setBounds (110,30,700,15);

       labelInstructions.setBounds(30, 70, 450, 15);

       labelLoanAmount.setBounds(130, 110, 100, 25);

       calu.add (fieldLoanAmount);
       fieldLoanAmount.setBounds(240, 110, 100, 25);

       calu.add (bCalc7);
       bCalc7.setBounds(40, 150, 125, 30);

       calu.add (bCalc15);
       bCalc15.setBounds(180, 150, 125, 30);

       calu.add (bCalc30);
       bCalc30.setBounds(320, 150, 125, 30);

       calu.add (labelPayment);
       labelPayment.setBounds(130, 200, 100, 25);

       calu.add (fieldPayment);
       fieldPayment.setBounds(240, 200, 100, 25);
       fieldPayment.setEditable(false);

       calu.add (labelAmortTable);

       //Set windwo size

       setSize (600, 700);

        }

Where is the code for the actionCommands?

[LadiPrather]

I am using the actionListener, it runs but those two buttons are not doing what they should, do I need to post my hold program. Thanks for any help you can give, I am to turn this in tonight.

[jkmyoung]

The GUI code is useless for debugging eg:
calu.add (labelAmortTabl e);

There doesn't appear to be an error with the code posted so far.

bCalc30.setActi onCommand ("Calculate30") ;
else if ("calculate30". equals(e.getAct ionCommand()))

The case of C on "calculate3 0" differs.

Don't use exit as the default case. Do an explicit else if test for it. Then have the default case be some sort of error alert, eg ERROR button is calling command .... but it's not found.

[LadiPrather]

Thank you that fixed that field it works, but the Calculate7 still scrolls across the page instead of down like the others and it has an n. here is what it look like
$8,828.92n3 ------->1,940,629.66 , and so on the arrow line is not there just to show you the direction it is going. It is set up the same as the others. I found one other error there corrected it but it still does the same thing.

[jkmyoung]

You noticed the n?
You put "n" instead of "\n", like in the other lines.

I notice you have a lot of repeated code.
You might want to consider merging the code together, simply changing the variables that differ...
eg:

if ("Calculate".equals(e.getActionCommand().Substring(0,9)){
   ...
   double interestRate;
  if ("Calculate7".equals(e.getActionCommand().Substring(0,9)){
     double paymentAmount = CalculatePayment7(); 
     interestRate = intRate[0];
   } else if ("Calculate15".equals(e.getActionCommand().Substring(0,9)){
     double paymentAmount = CalculatePayment15(); 
     interestRate = intRate[1];
   } else if ....
   ...
}

[LadiPrather]

Thank you, you must been doing this a long time. Again Thanks
