I am reading a file in the following format
1001 16000 300 12.50
2002 24000 360 10.50
3003 30000 300 9.50
where the items are: loan id, principal, months, interest rate.
I'm not sure what it is that I am doing wrong with my input string stream, but I am not reading the values correctly because only the loan id is read correctly. Everything else is zero. Sorry this is a homework, but I just wanted to know if you could help me identify my error.
if( inputstream.is_open() ){
/** print the results **/
cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);
cout << "ID " << "\tPrincipal" << "\tDuration" << "\tInterest" << "\tPayment" <<"\tTotal Payment" << endl;
cout << "---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------" << endl;
/** assign line read while we haven't reached end of file **/
string line;
istringstream instream;
while( inputstream >> line ){
instream.clear();
instream.str(line);
/** assing values **/
instream >> loanid >> principal >> duration >> interest;
/** compute monthly payment **/
double ratem = interest / 1200.0;
double expm = (1.0 + ratem);
payment = (ratem * pow(expm, duration) * principal) / (pow(expm, duration) - 1.0);
/** computer total payment **/
totalPayment = payment * duration;
/** print out calculations **/
cout << loanid << "\t$" << principal <<"\t" << duration << "mo" << "\t" << interest << "\t$" << payment << "\t$" << totalPayment << endl;
}
}
