    Code Help with GUI Mortgage Calculator

    Hello I'm trying to create a Mortgage Calculator that accepts user's input for loan amount, loan interest rate, and loan term and then displays the monthly payment for the Mortgage in GUI form. When I compile my program I get a error message stating cannot find symbol method showMessageDialog(<nulltype>,java.lang.String,int)

    HERE IS MY CODE BELOW PLEASE HELP

    import java.text.DecimalFormat;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

    public class MortgageCalculatorServiceRequest4///Name of my File and Class
    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    double loanAmount;//Declaring my Variables
    double loanInterest;//Declaring my Variables
    double monthlyPayment;//Declaring my Variables
    double interestRate;
    int loanTerm;
    String totalLoan, interestLoan, termLoan;
    DecimalFormat decimalPlaces=new DecimalFormat("0.00"); //Format decimal point for proper display

    totalLoan=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter the Term of the Loan: ");
    loanAmount = Double.parseDouble(totalLoan);

    interestLoan=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter the Interest Rate of the Loan in decimal Form: ");
    loanInterest = Double.parseDouble(interestLoan)/12;

    termLoan=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter the Term of the Loan: ");
    loanTerm = Integer.parseInt(termLoan)*12;

    // calculations
    monthlyPayment = (loanAmount * loanInterest) / (1 - Math.pow(1 + loanInterest, -loanTerm));//Formula for Monthly Payments

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Your Monthly Payments Are" + decimalPlaces.format(monthlyPayment),JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE );
    System.exit(0);
    }}
