A user-defined function example

The following simple function takes a principal amount, an annual percentage rate, and a loan duration in months and 
returns the total amount of interest paid over the period. You can optionally use the percent sign for the percentage 
rate, and include the dollar sign and comma separators for the principal amount.

You could use the 

TotalInterest

 function in a 

cfoutput

 tag of a form’s action page, as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

<cfoutput>   

 

Loan amount: #Form.Principal#<br>  

 

Annual percentage rate: #Form.AnnualPercent#<br>  

 

Loan duration: #Form.Months# months<br>  

 

TOTAL INTEREST: #TotalInterest(Form.Principal, Form.AnnualPercent, Form.Months)#<br>  

 

</cfoutput>

Defining the function using CFScript

 

 

 

 

 

<cfscript>  

 

function TotalInterest(principal, annualPercent, months) {  

 

Var years = 0;  

 

Var interestRate = 0;  

 

Var totalInterest = 0;  

 

principal = trim(principal);  

 

principal = REReplace(principal,"[\$,]","","ALL");  

 

annualPercent = Replace(annualPercent,"%","","ALL");  

 

interestRate = annualPercent / 100;  

 

years = months / 12;  

 

totalInterest = principal*(((1+ interestRate)^years)-1);  

 

Return DollarFormat(totalInterest);  

 

}  

 

</cfscript>
