Calculate compounding interest with this short Python script.

principal = 10000.0
interest_rate = 5.0

def get_percentage(inputf, percentage):
	return inputf * percentage / 100.0

def get_compounding(principalf, n):
	for i in range(0, n):
		principalf = principalf + get_percentage(principalf, interest_rate)
		print('#%d. $%.2f' % (i + 1, principalf))
	# print (principalf)
		
get_compounding(principal, time_units)

'''
# This is the 'mechanical' way of doing it. 
# For the interested, the mathematical formula is: amount = principal(1 + interest_rate / time_units)^(n * time)
