Pardon me if this isn’t the right place to ask but I need to make a compound-interest calculator, as a small high school project… with the feature that will help show the increase of investment over time

I just need to get the first part over with it…

    Well, I was trying to learn in g-10, at the start (when I was in-class, not online) , I had some previous computer classes before (I did Virtual Basics and Scratch, html even) but I didn’t do Python (and this is supposed to be an intro, regardless of previous experience) … wtf you expect me to do?

    Plus, why do you assume this of me?

      Because I’ve never seen a python class before that was ‘no experience required’ where they go “Well, normally we’d teach you about variables, and loops, functions and operator precedence…but you know what? Screw all that. Head first! YOLO! Write me some code.”

      If that is how that class is, I’d drop it and go hit youtube or something. How to Learn Python stuff is pretty available if you want to learn (and python is pretty useful).
