/*****************************************************************
** Function: Calculate_Simple_Interest
**
** Description: Simple Interest is the amount of interest
** calculated by using the formula:
**
** interest = (P * R * T)
**
** where P is the principle, r is the rate, and t
** is the time of the investment
**
** This function will return the simple interest
** calculated based upon it being passed the principle,
** rate, and time.
**
** Parameters: Principle - The original principal to start with
** Rate - The rate of interest. If you wanted
** 9.5 percent it would be passed as 0.095
** Time - The time in years
**
** Returns: Interest - The amount of simple interest earned

/*****************************************************************
** Function: Calculate_Compound_Interest
**
** Description: Compound Interest is the amount of interest
** calculated by using the formula:
**
** interest = (P * pow (1.0 + r, t)) - P
**
** where P is the principle, r is the rate, and t
** is the time of the investment
**
** This function will return the compound interest
** calculated based upon it being passed the principle,
** rate, and time.
**
** Parameters: Principle - The original principal to start with
** Rate - The rate of interest. If you wanted
** 9.5 percent it would be passed as 0.095
** Time - The time in years
**
** Returns: Interest - The amount of compound interest earned
