Recall that the formula for compound interest is $A = P(1+i)^n$,
where:
$A$ is the final amount
$P$ is the initial amount
$i$ is the interest rate (in decimals)
$n$ is the time that has elapsed.
For question (I):
Since the initial amount is $80 000$,
$A = 80000(1+0.02)^1$
$A = 81,600...1
Last I checked, the game I'm modding was compiled* using Game Maker 8.0
So for a little set up, here is my situation. There's a game out there which has a box in which you can enter a string and it executes it. I decided to try and mod the game through use of this cheat box along with some other...

The argument is directed against the philosophical positions of functionalism and computationalism, which hold...
