What is it you are trying to achieve? write a program which will calculate and print a table showing how a cash investment on term deposit in a bank accumulates over a period of time given a certain compounding period. the program will ask the user for: A) cash investment B) interest rate: entered by user either as a decimal or a percent. programs should convert to decimal if necessary. C) compounding period: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. D) term of investment: in months What is the problem you are having? just guide me through it Describe what you have tried to solve this problem its written below Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) var initial_amount, interest_rate, term, interest : int var compounding_period, M, Q, S, A : string put "initial amount: $ " .. get initial_amount put "interest rate: % " .. get interest_rate put "compounded: M,Q,S,A " .. get compounding_period put "Term: Months " .. get term interest := initial_amount * interest_rate * term
Please specify what version of Turing you are using any turing |

aah, if i understand properly, you can't tell the computer to do the math quite the way you have you can not say, intrest= .... you have to have the computer do the math before, or as you have done it but by removing the intrest variable and
*NOTE* I am rusty at truing the syntax might be wrong but I am sure the logic is right. |

A = P (1+i)^n A = Final Amount P = Initial amount i = interest rate per compound period n = number of compound periods So you need to take the interest rate and divide it by the number of compound periods |
