cout%26lt;%26lt;"Please type in the amount of money: ";


cin%26gt;%26gt;amount;





cout%26lt;%26lt;"Please type in the interest rate (in percentage): ";


cin%26gt;%26gt;ratepercent;





cout%26lt;%26lt;"Please type in the number of years: ";

rate=(100+ratepercent)/100;





for(counter=1,counter%26lt;=years,counter+...

You're using commas in the for-loop, rather than semi-colons...





for(counter=1, counter%26lt;=years, counter++)





should be





for(counter=1; counter%26lt;=years; counter++)





Note that it's not smart to use a float as a counter variable. Try using an int instead.





Also note that there's a much faster way (much faster in most cases) to calculate the interest:

Reply:The for loop should have semicolon instaead of comma





for(counter=1 ; counter%26lt;=years ; counter++)
