HI,
I just realized that I shouldn't enclose my project in an attachment.
This is my first attempt to string together py-code. Is this correct?
And how would a pro word this? It seems like an awful lot of code
for such a small task.
Thanks in advance,
Pat

# Problem Set 1
# Name P Wethington

# This is a program intended to compute the number of students who
will benefit from a grant, also what
# amount the last student will receive. One grant is given every
other year until the funds run out.

balance = principal
interestRate = .05 # Interest rate added to the principal annaully.

from this grant.

show the starting balance.

print principal + tuition," the amount remaining after first
tuition deduction. "

amount added to the fund
