goal = 1000.0
apr = .05
deposit = 100
return goal, apr, deposit
def determineMonthsTilSaved( goal, apr, deposit ):
months = 0
saved = 0
totalInterest = 0.0
while saved < goal:
interest = saved * apr / 12
totalInterest += interest
saved += (deposit + interest)
months += 1
print( months, ("%.2f" % saved), ("%.2f" % totalInterest) )
return months
def summarize( months ):
print( "Saved! It took ", months // 12, "years and", months % 12,
"months." )
main()
When this is run it appears that determineMonthsTilSaved is running twice
before the loop ends. It is supposed to run until saved > than goal, but
look at the output. It runs again even after saved > goal. Help please?
