Help!

with QBasic.

"Assume that your money is invested in an account that draws interest compounded annually. That is, at the end of each year the amount invested (principle) is multiplied by the interest rate, and that interest amount is added to the principle. Write a program, using a FOR.. NEXT LOOP, that will get the amount invested, the interest rate, and number of years from the keyboard (INPUT statements). It should then produce a printout showing how much money will be on hand at the end of EACH year."

So far, this is what I have:

INPUT "Enter amount to invest: ", moneyinvested
INPUT "Enter the interest rate: ", interestrate
INPUT "Enter number of years to invest: ", years

FOR X = years to 1 STEP -1
           totalmoney = (moneyinvested * interestrate) + moneyinvested
NEXT X

Any help would be appreciated!  :)

Uhh.. I don't think anyone here *uses* or *knows* QBasic.... :P

I know it a little though I haven't used it in ages. Also, I have a friend who just took a programming class online that for some reason programmed in QBASIC. 

In the loop add "PRINT totalmoney" I think that is what is need. I'll check when I get home and have the program, I think QBASIC is on my computer somewhere. QBASIC is a language that I haven't used in a long time.

I know QBASIC.

Basically you want a /PRINT "You have ", totalmoney/ in there

Ah, Why would you atempt to learn QBasic anyways?

Probably because he took a class where it was taught.  I can't think of any other reason...

Exactly.

@rabbit/Miamiandy: The program is far from finished than by just adding a simple PRINT statement. Re-read the instructions in my first post.  :P

You also need to another to plug total money back into the equation for every subsequent year following the first one.

Rabbit was around back in the days of QBASIC, I think. In fact, I remember back when Windows 95 was bleeding edge, Windows 3.1 was commonplace, and Visual Basic 3 was the thing to do.

The first language I learned was QBASIC and at the time I could use it quite well. Although, this was 8 or so years ago. I was in 3rd or 4th grade at the time I think.

Arn't you like 15? So..you were programming at the age of like 8?

[Miamiandy]

17 years old. I definitely was doing QBASIC in 4th and 5th. Nothing else till 7th though.

Not you, I quoted Joe for a reason :P

[Miamiandy]

Oops, sorry.

I first learned to program QBASIC and Batch on Windows 3.11/MSDOS and (pwn) for OS/2 :P
