Initializer 'init(_:)' requires that 'Decimal' conform to 'BinaryInteger'

Viewed 10029

I'm trying to make a compound interest calculator app and I'm getting this error when I return the formula of compound interest -> Initializer 'init(_:)' requires that 'Decimal' conform to 'BinaryInteger'

The error appear when I implement the compound interest formula: return balance * pow((1 + rate / 100), Int(mounths))

struct CompoundView: View {
@State var accountBalance: Decimal?
@State var percentagePerMounth: Decimal?
@State var numberOfMounths: Decimal?

@State var totalCompoundInterest = " "

var total: Decimal {
    guard let balance = self.accountBalance, let rate = self.percentagePerMounth, let mounths = self.numberOfMounths else {
        return 0
    }
    return balance * pow((1 + rate / 100), Int(mounths))
}

// Currency Formater
static var currencyFormatter: NumberFormatter {
    let nf = NumberFormatter()
    nf.numberStyle = .currency
    nf.isLenient = true
    return nf
}

// Percent Formatter
static var percentFormatter: NumberFormatter {
    let nf = NumberFormatter()
    nf.numberStyle = .percent
    // preserve input as-is, otherwise 10 becomes 0.1, which makes
    // sense but is less intuitive for input
    nf.multiplier = 1
    nf.isLenient = true
    return nf
}

// Months Formatter
static var monthsFormatter: NumberFormatter {
    let nf = NumberFormatter()
    nf.numberStyle = .decimal
    nf.isLenient = true
    return nf
}

// Compound Interest View
var body: some View {

    VStack {
        HStack {
            Text("Start Balance")
                .font(.subheadline)
                .padding(.vertical)
            Spacer()
            DecimalField("$0.00", value: $accountBalance, formatter: Self.currencyFormatter)

        HStack {

                .font(.subheadline)
                .padding(.vertical)
            Spacer()
            DecimalField("0", value: $numberOfMounths, formatter: Self.monthsFormatter)

        // Calculate Button
        Button(action: {
            hideKeyboard()
            self.totalCompoundInterest = Self.currencyFormatter.string(for: self.total)!

        }) {
            Text("Calculate")
                .font(.body)
                .foregroundColor(Color.white)

You need to convert the mounths properly to an Int. Like this:

Int(truncating: mounths as NSNumber))

So your last line in the init would look like this:

return balance * pow((1 + rate / 100), Int(truncating: mounths as NSNumber))
