    I'm not sure. It is supposed to work. Check your value very well. Maybe you typed extra digits.

    I tried double for currentPop but in Eclipse Neon.3 it tells me that value over 7 billion is out of range. Why?

    Thank you so so much for the correction. Didn't think of it that way – logic error! It has been corrected.

    P.S. I'm glad you find it helpful.

    The workig data estimated pop * number of years is wron i Think as estimatedpop becomes after one year but multiplying estimatedpop by 2 for the population after two years is mathematical problem which staes that growth rate was 200%. Instead it should be estimatedpop + growth/100 * estimated pop to be precise but if it was just a simple calculation you need to multiply the annualpopincrease by 2 and add it to estimatedpop.

    I do not mean to be rude and also THANKS A LOT FOR PROVIDING THE SOLUTIONS IT IS HELPING ME A LOT.
