Description
The following code shows how to use the decimal type to compute the future value of an investment.
Example
using System; //ww w . j a v a 2 s . com
public class MainClass {
public static void Main() {
decimal amount;
decimal rate_of_return;
int years, i;
amount = 100000.0M;
rate_of_return = 0.17M;
years = 100;
Console.WriteLine("Original investment: $" + amount);
Console.WriteLine("Rate of return: " + rate_of_return);
Console.WriteLine("Over " + years + " years");
for(i = 0; i < years; i++) {
amount = amount + (amount * rate_of_return);
}
Console.WriteLine("Future value is $" + amount);
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
