C++ Programing Help

Hello to all code gurus! First of, I wouldn't lie, i am not a professional programmer.....I am more of the opposite. I was given a program to write during a 4 day C++ programmers boot camp that I signed up for (which ended friday actually). By profession am a graphic designer and a rising web developer, specializing in all of the adobe an corel suites, except for a adobe indesign which I find not so helpfull at times. I want to see how the code I was given on one of the handouts could be implemented into a fully functional program for my personal use. I would like to see what functions, arrays an system calls you guys would use to get this done. Here is the question below:

Read in three values representing respectively:
a capital sum (integer number of pence),
a rate of interest in percent (float),
and a number of years (integer).
Compute the values of the capital sum with compound interest added over the given period of years.
Each year's interest is calculated as
interest = capital * interest_rate / 100;
and is added to the capital sum by
capital += interest;
Print out money values as pounds (pence / 100.0) accurate to two decimal places.
Print out a floating value for the value with compound interest for each year up to the end of the period.
Print output year by year in a form such as:
Original sum 30000.00 at 12.5 percent for 20 years
Year Interest Sum

----+-------+--------
1 3750.00 33750.00
2 4218.75 37968.75
3 4746.09 42714.84
4 5339.35 48054.19
5 6006.77 54060.96
6 6757.62 60818.58
7 7602.32 68420.90
8 8552.61 76973.51
9 9621.68 86595.19
10 10824.39 97419.58

Cant wait to see how u guys would do this!! I feel So elated being among a bunch of real programmers!!

Thankz, JoJoMak

Sigh. You'll be waiting a while. We're real programmers because we did our own homework.

I stayed up all night coding and after hundreds of revisions this is what I came up with:

Code:

---

        float cap;
        float rate;
        int years;

        cout << "Enter your capital loser!";
        cin >> cap;

        cout <<  "Enter interest rate loser!";
        cin >> rate;

        cout << "How many years loser!";
        cin >> years;

        for(int i=0; i<years; i++) {
                float interest = rate * cap / 100;
                cap += interest;
                printf("%d %.2f %.2f\n", i+1, interest, cap);
        }

Please delete your post. We don't do homework for people here.

So why go against the policies of the board by doing somebody's homework?

i have more important things to worry about.

Are you trying to help people or just show off? What do you think they learn if you just do the work for them?

that's of no concern to me.

Like what? You stated you went through "hundreds of revisions". How long did that take?

Good point. He says he stayed up all night doing it. I don't see why somebody who's been here for three days would want to go against the policies of the board. Not much to be gained by it.

If that code took all night and hundreds of revisions, he'll be needing help himself sooner than later and that attitude won't help.

I was poking fun at how simple the homework question was. it's called SARKASM.

SARKASM??

Is that assembly language written by the programmers of the Isle of Sark??

So you ask a simple question and your solution is poorly designed. you have no correct input checking and you use printf when you shouldn't. You get a "C", but I am no teacher.

... try typing "a".. congratulations it loops for life!:D

If you are going to argue with other people and show off noob code that won't get you anywhere in life, then at least learn how to spell sarcasm...
