sample code for compound interest

[vj5]

Can someone please help with a simple sample code to calculate compound interest with explanation? I guess the formula for compound interest is FV=P(1+r) to the number of years. FV is Future Value and P is Principal amount, r is the interest rate. I am not sure if the formula is correct.

I'm not sure what language you want to do this in, but if you're using Javascript you can use Math.pow for the exponent:http://devguru.com/technologies/javascript/10754.aspPHP has a pow function to do the same thing:http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pow.phpThere's nothing special to do for multiplication and addition, the + and * operators do those.
