Mortgage Repayment Calculator

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I am most proud of figuring out how to calculate mortgage repayment and interest. It was a really fun challenge for me personally because as common as a mortgage repayment may seem, I didn't know how to calculate it before now. So this challenge actually challenged me to go and figure it out, and so I did. I was full of excitement when my calculations gave the exact figure as was in the design. I am glad to have worked on this challenge.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

One of the biggest challenges I encountered was how to calculate the mortgage repayment. Given that I had no prior knowledge on mortgage repayment. So, I hopped onto my computer for a bumpy ride on the internet for an easy pass. And luckily for me Stackoverflow came to the rescue. Another challenge I faced was displaying the pound symbol (£) using JavaScript. for the HTML it was easy I used £ but for JavaScript, well it was stackoverflow to the rescue again. While most of the recommendations I found there were really helpful, but somewhat bulky, I realized that simply writing this "\u00A3" in my JavaScript displayed the (£) symbol. So, I was good to go.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Actually my code has been bulky, and I fear that simple problems that require minimal code get me writing tons of code and I understand that this is not healthy. So, how can I ensure that I write minimal code, whether HTML, CSS and most especially JavaScript?
