Unit 2 Task 34 - Simple pay-down balance

← Unit 2 tasks · Solution


You owe B dollars (float). Each month you pay a fixed P dollars (float). No interest-just subtract P each month until the balance is 0 or less.

Ask for B and P (assume P > 0 and B > 0). Print how many months it took. The last payment can overshoot zero (that is OK for this model).

Skills: while on balance, counter.
