import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class MortgagePaymentCalculatorCR1.java:3:{



//initialize numerical values
	public static void main(String[] args)



		//declared variables

	    int loanamount = 200000;
		double MP;
		double Principal=200000;



    	int[] months= new int[3];
		months[0] = 84;
		months[1] = 180;
		months[2] = 360;

		//calculate

		double[] interestrate= new double[3];
		interestrate[0] =  .0535;
		interestrate[1] =  .0550;
		interestrate[2] =  .0575;
		DecimalFormat twoplaces = new DecimalFormat("0,000.00");

		//calculate
		System.out.println("\tPayment Calculator\n");

		//looping in progress
                for(int counter = 1; counter <=12; counter++)

		//calculate


		PayMonthly = (loantotal * interestRate[i] / (1 - Math.pow(1/(1 +
interestRate[i]),loanlength[i]*12)));

		//calculate

		System.out.println("\tLoan Amount 1 = " + loanamount);
		System.out.println("\tYear Term is = " + yearterm[counter]);
		System.out.println("\tInterest Rate = " +
interestrate[counter]*100);
		System.out.println("\tMonthly Payment is " + twoplaces.format(MP));
}



this is what I have done so far and the following errors are

'{' expected      line 7
'}' expected      line 55
