4.7. Example Program: Debt Calculator
While the checkerboard program is a hoot, it is not necessarily very useful. Let's write another program that is a bit more realistic, again with the aim of tying together many of the concepts we have learned thus far. The program we will write is a debt calculator. It will take a few variables, such as the amount of debt you've got, your income, and the interest rate, and the program will figure out how many years it will take you to pay it off.
