Let's review what we have done so far by working through a complete example.
You have made it through plebe year and your thoughts turn to your car loan. The problem is you have filet mignon tastes and a hotdog checkbook balance. Even with your loan, you know you will need to save some money between now and then to buy the car you really want.
So, let’s write a program that reads in a user's first name, middle initial and last name, a monthly payment amount (in whole dollars), rate (annual interest rate), a duration (in years) and a target savings amount from the user, and then prints out the amount saved at the end of the duration (assuming monthly compounding) along with a message that says "first name the target is met - buy the car!" or "first name target not met - pick a cheaper car!" depending on whether the ending balance is greater than or equal to the target.
Two sample runs we can use to test our solution are
Sample Run 1 input> Mary J. Smith |
Sample Run 2 input> John P. Jones |
Design a working algorithm!!!!
Let's use a flowchart to design our solution and make sure it works BEFORE we start coding. Click here to see the final flowchart.
Next, implement your design as C++ code.
But recognize the fact that input and output will be a little more detailed than the flowchart implies to get it to print exactly as the sample runs above. Click here for a final solution.
