Writ a program estimate how much a young worker will make before retiring age of 65. request the worker’s name, age, and starting salary as input. Assume the worker receives a 5 percent raise each year. For example, if the user enters Helen, 25 and 20000, the out put will be:
helen will earn about $2415995

itz about loops..

and thank u very much..

you know that 5% its integrer * 0.05 right?
just make a for for it.
kind of like.

for(age = input_age;till 65 or else(age < final_age);age++)
{
year_money = money * 0.05;
money = money + year_money; //you can do this one and the one above 
 // in the same line
}
cout << "If you don't eat or drink you have good chance of having: " 
     << money << endl;

Here is your answer. I messed around with my own code on a project I worked on a couple days ago and here is the answer to the problem. Feel free to change any variables you want but make sure you account for them.

Dim age As Double = CDbl(txtAge.Text.ToString)
Dim salary As Double = CDbl(txtSalary.Text.ToString)
Dim name As String = txtName.Text.ToString
Dim results As Double = 0
name = txtName.Text

Do While age < 65

results += (0.05 * salary)
salary += (0.05 * salary)
age += 1

Loop

txtResults.Text = name & " will earn about " & FormatCurrency(results)

Note that the characters after the concatenate character or Ampersand and in quotes will be dark red.
