<0> then you've payed 1200 exactlyl
<0> or is the last payment smaller
<1> the last payment is $47.12
<1> (at least that's what i'm getting)
<0> so you've paid 1197.12
<1> correct
<0> -1000 for the prinicpal
<0> the rest is interest
<0> 197.12
<1> yup => 197.12 interst ... right?
<2> I agree, 47.12
<1> coolness
<2> But I don't agree
<2> With the 197.12
<2> Oh wait
<2> The last month doesn't earn interest
<2> Well, ignore that
<2> But yeah, it comes up with 197.12
<2> That's if
<2> The first month we start with 1000
<2> Add the 1.5 percent
<0> why wouldn' tyou pay interest on the amount owed for the last month
<2> Subtract 50
<1> 950
<2> Because I paid interest on the amount owed for the first month
<2> Then paid 50 into it
<0> you do that for every month
<2> No, you're not hearing me out
<2> Because I paid interest in the first month
<0> and?
<2> hmmmmmmmm
<0> you pay it in the last month also
<2> If you acquire a debt and pay it off in 24 months
<2> You would only pay interest for 23 of the months
<0> nope
<1> ah i hate these problems XD
<2> Because the last month you aren't carrying it over
<2> Or the first month you aren't carrying it over
<2> I don't see how it can have it both ways
<0> you borrow 1000 for one month, but you only pay 50
<2> Right
<0> so interest is 15...and you now have 965
<2> So does that month accrue interest on 1000 or on 950?
<0> you owed 1000 for one month
<0> they don't give it to you for free
<2> Then 197.12 can't be the answer
<2> It has to be 197.826
<2> It has to be 197.827
<1> i know that on month two debt should be $965.00
<2> That helps
<1> -- if that helps
<1> :)
<2> :)
<2> So this excel sheet looks right
<1> that's the one thing he gave me @ office hrs
<1> with $197.12 being total interest?
<2> No, I get 197.8268
<2> I don't know that that's correct, I just get it
<1> er... hmm... maybe i'm doin' some f'ed up rounding?
<0> 197.8267722
<2> ^
<2> That's what I get
<2> With a little shaving
<2> No
<2> Check this out
<2> Open Excel
<1> k
<2> Start a new worksheet if you have to
<0> yeah, you have to pay interst on that last 47.12
<1> k .. there
<2> In F1, put 0
<2> In B2, put 1000
<2> In B3, put 50
<2> In B4, put this formula: "=B2*1.015"
<1> k
<2> In B5, put "=D2-C2"
<2> In B6, put "=(B2*0.015) + F1"
<2> Copy cells B3 and B6 and paste them to like twenty five rows beneath row B
<2> Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<2> Sorry
<2> I got flipped
<1> heh.. np
<2> B3 should be C2
<2> B4 D2
<2> B5 E2
<2> B6 F2
<2> Move those around, then
<3> E2 E4
<2> :(
<2> Stop that
<2> Now copy C2 through F2 and paste them to the blank rows under those
<2> You can paste it to an area about twenty five rows high
<2> Down to 25 or 3
<2> 30
<2> And in B3 put "=E2"
<2> And copy B3 down through B30 or whatever
<2> If you did it right, cell F24 will show your magic 197.12 number.
<2> And wherever column B's value drops under 50, copy that value into the C cell next to it
<1> hehe... nice... 197.1199726
<2> Yeah
<1> excellent... so 47.11997 would be the last month's payment
<2> That's what I got
<2> Bringing the grand total interest to 197.826whatever
<2> ***uming you pay interest on the last month
<2> Which I suppose makes sense
<1> hmm... now that's the interesting part... i'm not really sure if i do or not... i guess i would probably have to take interest on the last month
<2> Yeah, I think so
<2> So that helps you fix the logic
<2> But you might add in your documentation and/or comments what line to uncomment or comment out if you're wrong about that
<0> the bank certainly will
<1> excellent!! Thanks for the help!
<1> ooo... good idead! =)
<2> In other words, make it easy for the grader to change it to output 197.12 if that's right
<1> hehe... thanks to you too vawjr =)
<2> Sure thing, enzo
<1> excellent.. yeah they'll like that and go easier on me if it isn't what they want...
<2> nod
<1> anyways that should help me out!! i /really/ appreciate it all!!! =)
<0> "That's what we're here for" 1986 Victor A. Wagner Jr.
<2> Sure thing
<1> heheh
<2> I like that he went to office hours before asking here
<1> :)
<2> None of that "plz help write this for me its due in two hours"
<1> heheh
<2> "and I don't know what functions do"
<0> and what does the ^ operator mean
<1> hehe..
<2> Yah
<1> modulus operator all the way!!!!
<1> XD ..
<2> :/
<1> thanks again you two :) ... i'm gonna bang the rest of this together
<2> Sure, let us know what you get on it
<2> And note that we never gave you any code or anything, this isn't cheating.
<4> when is giving code 'cheating'?
<1> yeah... see that's the thing that kind of makes me a little upset w/ the cl***... they seem to thing it is cheating if you need the logic clarified since they didn't really help me out there
<2> Yeah, that part strikes me as a little odd
<2> What's the cl*** title?
<2> Intro to Programming or what?
<1> Intro to Programming 1
<2> Jeez
<1> i feel really bad for a lot of the people in the cl*** since none of them have /any/ programming experience before coming into that cl*** :/
<1> i had a little at least =)
<2> Well, the good students will do what you did, which is seek help and do the best you can
<2> The bad students will give up or put some garbage together or whatever
<2> It's mostly a weedout cl***
<4> and drop like flies
<1> i suppose .. yeah.. i could see that :)
<1> well.. .thx again all .. have a great night!
