Simple Interest Calculator

This project provides a Python script to calculate simple interest. It is the first step in transitioning from Subversion (SVN) to Git for version control at our micro-finance startup. The goal of this repository is to serve as an example for hosting code on GitHub and to follow best practices for open-source contributions.

Features

• Easy-to-use script to calculate simple interest.
• Designed for educational and demonstration purposes.

Formula Used

The formula for calculating simple interest is:

[ SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} ]

Where:

• P is the principal amount.
• R is the annual interest rate.
• T is the time period in years.

Calculator Details

A calculator that calculates simple interest given principal, annual rate of interest, and time period in years.

Input:

• p: principal amount
• t: time period in years
• r: annual rate of interest

Output:

• simple interest = p * t * r
