Re: Compile error

I've seen this post before. The problems are:

1. The declaration of formPanel is commented out; it should not be.
2. The closing brace of the (commented out) main function is not
commented out. It should be.
3. There is a stray closing brace in method calculate(), after the
calculation of payments. It should be removed.
4. Add a closing brace at the end of the file

These changes (locations marked with --> below) allowed the code to run
for me.

}
--> add closing brace: }
