Hi, I'm dw0391
I have an issue with a class task that my teacher can't seem to fix.
We were asked to write the code for a 'no interest loan repayment
calculator'. I tried, but it did not work.
Attached is the relevant file, 'Prog 6'
Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

This programs calculates how much you need

    return rate

main()
