Marv:
You have to slow down and think about what you are asking. You are not
asking anything that makes sense. I only know this from working on the
project. If someone else read this they would just ignore it.
You should craft your questions carefully perhaps in a text editor and send
it when you are sure your facts are correct.
See below:
now the project is to calculate the investment, the interest rate and number
of years.
Marv, the above is not correct.
You do not want to calculate the investment, interest rate and number of
years. That is what you said and it is nonsense. You want to calculate the
Future Value of the investment given a Investment Amount, Interest Rate and
the Number of years.
and the calculation is:
future value = investment amount (interest rate + 1) ^years
The above is good.
so i thought the way to calculate that was:
future value = investment * interest rate * years.
is that right.
The above is a valid question. Your formula is incorrect, you had it right
before when we worked on the project, but your question is much better for
others to give you a response. They look at the original calculation and
tell you to use parenthsis and that you did not raise the necessary value to
the exponential number of years. But the question is better. You really need
to drop the project description, tell them the inputs and outputs if
necessary for the calculation as it is here and then show them the original
calculation from the book as you did, and your code solution as you did.
