C++ program to calculate how many years needed to get X rupees with 1% interest
Suppose we have a number X. We have 100 rupees in a bank. The bank returns annual interest rate of 1 % compounded annually. (Integers only). We have to check how many years we need to get X rupees?
So, if the input is like X = 520, then the output will be 213.
Steps
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
sum := 0 balance := 100 while balance < n, do: interest := balance / 100 sum := sum + 1 balance := balance + interest return sum
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int solve(int n){ int sum = 0; int balance = 100; while (balance < n){ int interest = balance / 100; sum = sum + 1; balance = balance + interest; } return sum; } int main(){ int X = 520; cout << solve(X) << endl; }
Input
520
Output
213
