help with little prog

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>// for getch()
using namespace std;


int main()
{
        int amount;
        int years;
        int month = 12;
        float payment;


        cout << "This program calculates your morgage loan payments per month\n";
        cout<< "Enter the amount of $ the house costs: ";
        cin >> amount;

        cout <<"Enter the years you want to pay off the morgage: ";
        cin >> years;


        payment =(amount /years) / 12;


        cout << "You will have to pay " << payment << " per month\n";
        cout << "Press a key to close the screen.";
        getch(); //this waits for a user to entre any key before it closes

        return 0;
}

so anyone can help me to make this code look better lol i got no idea if im following correct programing styles or whatever.
aslo the prog works fine but it lacks something. there is no interest, how is interest calculated?

Nothing looks that bad to me. look at http://geosoft.no/style.html for some style guidlines.

the total amount of interest can be calculated through

[original amount] * ( 1 + ( [percentage of interest] / 100 ) ^ [number of months/years/whatever] )

but this is economics, not programming

Only thing I would suggest is at the end of a cout where you want a new line you should use "<< endl;" instead of the newline escape character.

Also you have the variable month but you don't use it (or need it) there's always 12 months in a year, so get rid of that.

edit: There is also a 't' in Mortgage

thanks for the input. ill try and fix it :)

edit: about the year is always 12 months but still shouldnt i have that there so if someone doesnt know what the 12 means he would know that its the months? or would a comment b more than enough?

I think it's pretty easy to work it out without anything at all. But you could put a comment there if you're worried. Don't over-comment though, cardinal sin. :)
