Hints & Updates: (updated Mon, Oct 24th)

• Be sure to adhere to the formula listed above. Deviating from this will most likely result in erroreous results.

• You may NOT use any built in calculating functions (other than the Math.pow() method), use the formula presented in class

• I suggest using data type of double for this assignment.
• To get input, you will need to use the Scanner class as mentioned in the text as well as in the classroom example. You must use the .nextLine and .parseDouble methods as discussed in class (see notes).
• Make sure you modify the input values for Rate and Years as specified in class.
• You must format the output nicely, either using printf (and %.2f%n) or using the NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() method (suggested).
