Assignment H3

In this assignment you will begin to explore the use of control structures in JavaScript. You will want to use the conditional statements (if-then-else) to make sure that the number that is entered has a reasonable value, and you will want to use a loop to rerun the same computation repeatedly, once for each year. The actual task, computing compound interests, is not really our focus (for that we would use a spreadsheet). So don't fixate on the math -- the goal here is to learn how to think about creating programs that perform a task using the three control structures that we discussed in class.

1. Create a Web page with a JavaScript program that computes the future value of an investment that receives x% interest per year, where x is a non-negative integer entered by the user. The program should ensure that a non-negative integer is entered, and it should print out the future value for each of the next 10 years. You can assume that the investment's initial value is $10,000 (or any other reasonable value) or you can also ask the user to input an initial investment amount -- either way would be fine.
2. Place this Web page in 603/hw3.html in your terpconnect Web space and link it from 603/index.html.
