Plz help me with HW, Python For Loop

Expand Post »
Enter initial capital: 2000
Enter percentage: 6.6
Enter number of years: 4
After Year 1 you’ll have 2132.0 dollars
After Year 2 you’ll have 2272.71 dollars
After Year 3 you’ll have 2422.71 dollars
After Year 4 you’ll have 2582.61 dollars
In 4 years, a total interest of 582.61 dollars is paid

above should be the output

initial_capital = float(raw_input("Enter initial capital: "))
percentage = float(raw_input("Enter percentage: "))
year = float(raw_input("Enter number of years: "))
c = initial_capital
r = percentage
r = r/100.00
year = 0
i = c*r
for i in range(year+1,):
c=c*(1+r)
year=year+1
i=c-initial_capital
print "After year",year,"you'll have",c,"dollars"
print "In",year,"years, a total interest of",i,"dollars is paid"

above is my input, result is only showed year 1, rest of years is not showing up

Please use [code=python] tag to enclose your code, so we can see the indent.

If you set year=0 and then use range(year+1), you only go once through your loop.
