How to calculate compound interest in Rust

1 Answer

0 votes
use std::f64; // For floating-point operations

fn calculate_compound_interest(principal: f64, rate: f64, years: f64) -> f64 {
    // Validate input: all values must be non-negative
    if principal < 0.0 || rate < 0.0 || years < 0.0 {
        eprintln!("Error: Principal, rate, and years must be non-negative values.");
        return -1.0;
    }

    // Calculate total amount using the compound interest formula
    let amount = principal * (1.0 + rate / 100.0).powf(years);

    // Return compound interest (total amount - principal)
    amount - principal
}

fn main() {
    let principal = 100_000.0;
    let rate = 3.5;
    let years = 5.0;

    let compound_interest = calculate_compound_interest(principal, rate, years);

    if compound_interest >= 0.0 {
        println!("Principal Amount: {:.2}", principal);
        println!("Annual Interest Rate: {:.2}%", rate);
        println!("Years: {:.2}", years);
        println!("Compound Interest: {:.2}", compound_interest);
        println!("Total Amount: {:.2}", principal + compound_interest);
    }
}




/*
run:

Principal Amount: 100000.00
Annual Interest Rate: 3.50%
Years: 5.00
Compound Interest: 18768.63
Total Amount: 118768.63
