Classwork/Homework:

1. 1. Write a java program CarLoan_YI.java to print a table giving the total amount paid and the remaining principal after each monthly payment.
      • Prompt the user for the amount, interest and number of years.
      • The prompt should include relevant messages so the user understands the input format.
      • One of your runs should be with the data given below.

      NOTE: your program properly handles an interest rate of 0% and avoids dividing by 0.

      Example output:
      Amount borrowed = 1000.00
      Number of years = 2

      Interest rate = 3.00
      Monthly payments = 42.98
      Total interest = 31.55
      If the total interest is pre-paid here is a chart:

      Even though this chart doesn’t reflect the finance charge, it is an effective way to show the amount paid and the remaining values. In some cases, the finance charge is paid up front.

      If you really want the challenge of using the amortization model here is a chart that can show the effect of how the interest charges decrease as the amount borrowed also decreases.

      

Asterisks Pattern
If you are finished with yesterday’s programming assignment, work on the following assignment.
Write a program, Asterisks_YI.java that prints the following pattern separately, one below the other each pattern separated front he next by one blank line. Use nested for loops ONLY to generate the patterns. All asterisks (*) should be printed by a single statement
which causes the asterisks to print side by side separated by a space.
Hint: The last two patterns require that each line begin with an appropriate number of blanks.

Extra Credit: Combine your code from the four separate problems into a single program that prints all four patterns side by side by making clever use of nested for loops. For all parts of this program – minimize the number of statements that print these characters.
