Important
This repository was created as the final project for the IBM Git and GitHub Basics course on edX.
This project is kept as evidence of my practice with GitHub workflows, including repository setup, documentation, commits, branches, pull requests, contribution guidelines, and project completion.
The base project instructions were provided by the course platform. Additional documentation and formatting were added to make the repository clearer, easier to read, and more professional.
This repository contains a simple interest calculator.
The calculator computes simple interest using the principal amount, annual rate of interest, and time period in years.
simple interest = p * t * r / 100
| Type | Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Input | p |
Principal amount |
| Input | t |
Time period in years |
| Input | r |
Annual rate of interest |
| Output | simple interest |
Calculated interest value |
simple interest = p * t * r / 100
Example:
p = 1000
t = 2
r = 5
simple interest = 100
This repository demonstrates practice with:

Note
This is a learning repository, so contributions should stay focused on clarity, practice, and simple improvements.
This project is a course-based learning exercise, not a production-ready financial application.
Its main value is to demonstrate GitHub workflow practice, documentation quality, and basic calculator logic.
