Problem Set: Four questions. Grade: $4\%$

"Write a program that will compute and display the value of an investment for each of the next five

years. Each year, interest is added to the value. The interest is computed by multiplying the current

value by a fixed interest rate. Assume that the initial value and the rate of interest are to be input by

the user when the program is run."

Type initial investment:

Initial Investment $=1000\mathrm{.}0$

Initial Rate $=5\mathrm{.}0\%$

Press any key to continue $...$ Let$$s see how one might develop the program, which computes the value of an investment over five years. The task that you want the program to perform is: $$Compute and display the value of an investment for each of the next five years, where the initial investment and interest rate are to be specified by the user.$$ You might then write$$or at least think$$that this can be expanded as:

Get the user$$s input

Compute the value of the investment after $1$ year

Display the value

Compute the value after $2$ years

Display the value

Compute the value after $3$ years

Display the value

Compute the value after $4$ years

Display the value

Compute the value after $5$ years

Display the value

This is correct, but rather repetitive. And seeing that repetition, you might notice an

opportunity to use a loop. A loop would take less typing. More important, it would be more

general: Essentially the same loop will work no matter how many years you want to process.

So$,$ you might rewrite the above sequence of steps as:

Get the user$$s input

while there are more years to process:

Compute the value after the next year

Display the value
