Re: Various Interest Rates

Shannon, it's not so much the precision, but rather the declaration
that you have for rate.

Since you declared it as (int rate = 5; rate <= 10; rate++) rate can
only be an integer.

Without giving you the answer, could you think of another way to
declare rate so that it might hold fractional parts?

By the way, the "rate <= 10" will end the loop with rate = 11. I don't
know if you want to write this as "rate < 10" instead.
