Have a 2nd job interview, was told to expect a 3 to 4 hour interview?
Had a job interview yesterday which went very well and lasted 3 hours with Q and A, skill set, joking, etc. I have been called back for a 2nd interview and was told to expect for it to be 3 to 4 hours. It is an IT Manager position and I am curious as to why the second interview would be that long? Any ideas? I have not had an interview that lasted that long in each case and still was offered a position in the past.

1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoJAVA programming question and problem. Help Please!?
Hi Everyone,
I designed my JAVA programming with the following from a previous assignment and was told it did not execute, but when I ran it in JAVA it was fine. I now have to add the following:
Write the program in Java (without a graphical user interface) using a loan amount of $200,000 with an interest rate of 5.75% and a 30 year term. Display the mortgage payment amount and then list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. If the list would scroll off the screen, use loops to display a partial list, hesitate, and then display more of the list. I also have to show a flow chart on how it works and I AM REALLY LOST.
HERE IS MY PREVIOUS CODE:
public class MortageCalculator {
public static void main(String [] args) {
//declare variables
double interestRate=.0575;
int amount=200000;
int term=30;
double monthlyInterestRate=interestRate / 12;
int totalMonths=term * 12;
double payment=amount * (1-(Math.pow((1+monthlyInterestRate ),(-totalMonths))));
//display payment amount
System.out.println("The monthly payment for your mortage is" + payment);
}
}
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!! THANKS
2 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoJAVA programming code writing question?
Ok , I am doing an assignment for a mortgage calculator in JAVA. The assignment is to write the code first, then enter into JAVA to execute. I am all new to this so......Here is my code and it will not execute. I am lost as lost can be. Any help will be appreciated.
public class MortageCalculator {
public static void main(String [] args) {
//declare variables
double interestRate=.0575;
int amount=200000;
int term=30;
double monthlyInterestRate=interestRate / 12;
int totalMonths=term * 12;
double payment=amount * (1-(Math.pow((1+monthlyInterestRate ),(-totalMonths))));
//display payment amount
System.out.println("The monthly payment for your mortage is" + payment);
}
}
Here is the info:
Formula for mortgage payment calculation:
a = [P(1 + r)nr]/[(1 + r)n - 1] -- where P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate and n is the term in years.
Formulas to calculate the monthly payment and balance:
interestRate = .0575;
amount = 200000;
term = 30;
monthlyInterestRate = interestRate / 12;
totalMonths= term * 12;
payment = amount * monthlyInterestRate / (1-(Math.pow((1+monthlyInterestRate ),(-totalMonths))));
Formulas to calculate the amortization:
interestPaid = loanBalance * montlyInterestRate;
principalPaid = payment - interestPaid;
loanBalance = loanBalance - principalPaid;
//loanBalance is a running number, the initial value is equal to amount

2 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoShould I get rid of my car?
ok, I have been thinking? I bought a new car about 4 months ago. It was at 0% interest for 5 years and I owe about 27k on it. I like the car, but I have been in this bill paying mode for a while. I have knocked out almost all of my credit cards and working on student loans. My idea is to get a car around $7-8k that is used. I found the perfect one with almost 100,000 miles on it, but the price is right. Am I foolish for thinking about this? I keep thinking in my head it is better to have $7k then 27K owed. I will probably be $4-5k in the hole on the new car which I will pay. I am just trying to be debt free and this seems like a quick way with the economy and such. Any thoughts. I know a car with that mileage can be risky, but carfax comes back clean and it had one owner?? Mechanic says its a great car. I can always get an extended warranty. 10% says idiot and 90% says the less you owe better.
