So I was thinking about writing a script to calculate the savings over a certain matter of time and came up with the following.<\/p>\n
[perl]
\n#!\/usr\/bin\/perl<\/p>\n
use warnings;
\nuse strict;<\/p>\n
print "What is the yield?\\n";
\nmy $yield = <>;
\nprint "How many years?\\n";
\nmy $years = <>;
\nprint "How much money saved anually?\\n";
\nmy $savings = <>;
\nmy $i;
\nmy $new_savings = 0;<\/p>\n
for($i = 1; $i <= $years; $i++) {
\n\t$new_savings = $savings + $new_savings;
\n\t$new_savings = $new_savings + $new_savings*($yield\/100);
\n\tprintf "Savings for year $i are \\$%.2f.\\n", $new_savings;
\n}
\n[\/perl]<\/p>\n
Below is an usage example.<\/p>\n
[19:43:04] xavi@ubuntu:\/tmp $ .\/yield.pl
\nWhat is the yield?
\n5.0
\nHow many years?
\n5
\nHow much money saved anually?
\n10000
\nSavings for year 1 are $10500.00.
\nSavings for year 2 are $21525.00.
\nSavings for year 3 are $33101.25.
\nSavings for year 4 are $45256.31.
\nSavings for year 5 are $58019.13.
\n[19:43:18] xavi@ubuntu:\/tmp $ <\/p>\n
This just gives an idea of the money that can be saved over a short period of time with a five percent yield. It’s a really simple script.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
