    Angry I can't figure this out!

    I cannot figure out how to write this equation into a program.

    P = Ar /( 1 - (1 + r) to the negative n power)

    Try pow ( declaration in <math.h> ).

    pow
    Calculates x raised to the power of y.

    double pow( double x, double y );

    I think you code would look something like this.

    P = Ar / pow( ( 1 - ( 1 + r ) ), -n );

    Hi
    you know from math cources that X^-n is euqal to 1/X^n so try to use thet and rewrite your code usin the positive powers
    e.g.
    P = Ar /( 1 - 1/pow((1 + r),n)) where n is with the oposite sign from your original post
