MY QUESTION IS:

Will this program that I wrote run and what can I add to make it better??

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int choice;

int interest_rate=0;

const int YEAR5=1,

YEAR4=2,

YEAR3=3,

YEAR2=4,

YEAR1=5,

YEAR0=6;

do

{

cout <<

Explanation / Answer

You should use switch or if-else statements. Do while are for looping and not for checking for condition.

Here is the corrected code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int choice;
   float interest_rate;
   do{
       cout <<"How many years has it been since the deposit? ";
       cin >> choice;
   }while (choice<0 ||choice>6);
   if(choice >= 5)
       interest_rate = 0.095;
   else if(choice >= 4)
       interest_rate = 0.09;
   else if(choice >= 3)
       interest_rate = 0.085;
   else if(choice >= 2)
       interest_rate = 0.075;
   else if(choice >= 1)
       interest_rate = 0.065;
   else if(choice >= 0)
       interest_rate = 0.058;
   cout<<"Your interest rate is: "<<interest_rate<<endl;
   return 0;
}
