Running the program
Your program should take 5 arguments: start annual years return inflation
where
start is the initial investment amount
annual is the amount that is added to the investment every year
years is the number of years that the investment is held
return is the annual investment return expressed as a percentage
inflation is the annual inflation rate expressed as a percentage
So, to calculate the future and present value of $1000 investment after 10 years where you
add $100 every year with a 7% return and 2% inflation, you give the following arguments
and get this output:
$ ./fv 1000 100 10 7 2
Future Value: $3445.51
Present Value: $2826.52
Writing the code
Starter code is provided for you below
int main(int arge, char **argv )
{
int a, n
double value, present, I, is
value= atof (argv[1]);
a = atoi (argv[2]);
natoi (argv[3]);
r = atof (argv[4])/100;
i = atof(argv[5])/100;
// TODO write your code here

The following table shows the approximate speed of sound in air, water, and steel: Write a program that asks the user to enter “air”, “water”, or “steel” and the distance that a sound wave will travel in the medium. The program should then display the amount of time it will take. You can calculate the amount of time it takes sound to travel in air with the following formula: Time = Distance / 1,100 You can calculate the amount of time it takes sound to travel in water with the following formula: Time = Distance / 4,900 You can calculate the amount of time it takes sound to travel in steel with the following formula: Time = Distance / 16,400
