Im new learning C++ and ive been given the job to create a project and i have some short idea in how to do it, but not at all sure to complete it. The project goes like this:


A house is constructed and costs 250,000$ . He will stay with the house for 148 years and then eventually sell it, Im asked to write a program that calculates the price of the house each 10 years until it reaches 148 years of made, how much the house cost then, with an inflation percentage. 

[chameleon]

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

double inflation(double start, double percent, int years) { return start * std::pow(percent, years); }

int main()
{
   double start = 250000;
   double percent = 0.9; // 90%
   for (int z = 0; z < 148; z += 10)
      cout << "year " << z << " is " << inflation(start, percent, z) << endl;
   cout << "year 148 is " << inflation(start, percent, 148) << endl;
};

Thanksssss really, thats awesome. My doubt is, should the house be worth less every 10 years? I thought it would be worth a bit more

Hi, I still have the doubt in should the house be worth more for every ten years calculated, instead of being worth less?? Because inflation is to be worth more i think.

Shouldn't you figure that one out? Or that information given to you by whoever gave you this job? It doesn't have anything to do with programming.
