# Hyperion Development - Software Engineering Course
## Level 1 - Capstone Project 1 - Build a Financial Calculator
### Overview of this Task
This task focused on variables and control structures. The requirements for this task was to create a program that would allow users to calculate the interest on their investment, or to calculate the amount that should be repaid on their home loan per month.
### Terminology
Some basic financial terminolgy and calculations were introduced, which would be needed to be integrated into the program, such as:
* Simple Interest
* Principal Amount
* Compound Interest
* Accumulated Amount
### Development
The program was coded in python. The user was required to input whether they wanted to calculate an investment, or a bond.
#### The Investment Calculator
The steps that were initiated after the user selected 'Investment' were:
1. How much money they were going to deposit
2. What is the interest rate
3. How many years they plan to invest
4. Whether they want to use the 'simple' or 'compound' interest rate calculation
Their total investment was then printed out to them based on their selections
#### The Bond Calculator
The steps that were initiated after the user selected 'Investment' were:
1. What is the present value of the house
2. What is the interest rate
3. How many months do they plan to pay off the bond
Their total monthly cost of the bond was then calculated and printed out
### Summary
A good introduction to the concepts of variables, control structures and financial calculations. A 100% grade for this project was achieved :)
