Requirement

• I need a calculator which helps in choosing where to invest
  • Fixed Deposits
  • Mutual Funds
• To this calculator I will be providing principal amount and number of years of investment
• Possible Solutions
  • Calculate manually every time using pen & paper
  • Build a Calculator application
• How to Solve this
  • Know the Calculations
• Calculations:
• To solve this program we need to have some memory from RAM and processing time from CPU

principal = 500000
fd_rate_of_intrest = 5.5
mf_rate_of_intrest = 7.5
period_in_years = 2
fd_after_period = principal * (1+ fd_rate_of_intrest/100)** period_in_years
mf_after_period = principal * (1+ mf_rate_of_intrest/100)** period_in_years

print(f"FD after {period_in_years} years is {fd_after_period}")
print(f"MF after {period_in_years} years is {mf_after_period}")

• To install python Refer Here

• Mac users install homebrew Refer Here

• Install Git and Visual Studio Code:

  • Mac:

    brew install git 
    brew install --cask visual-studio-code
    

  • Windows:

  choco install git -y  
  choco install vscode -y
  

• Open interactive Python (REPL)

Data: Types, Values, Variables and Names

• Lets examine by execute the following in interactive python
• When we need a location in memory we can directly assign values to variable
• A python program is given access to some of your computers memory by operating system. This memory is used for the code of the program and the data it uses.
• In python memory is basically an object which consists of following information
  • A type that defines what it can do
  • A unique id to distinguish from other objects
  • A value consistent with type
  • A reference count that tracks how often this object
