Question

Only on problem set 1:
Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track/ why I feel like I'm not? This is what I have so far and I'm really unsure of what I'm doing.
#Minimum monthly payment = Minimum monthly payment rate x Balance
#Interest Paid = Annual interest rate / 12 months x Balance
#Principal paid = Minimum monthly payment – Interest paid
#Remaining balance = Balance – Principal paid

a = raw_input ('Enter the outstanding balance on your credit card:')
a_float = float(a)
b = raw_input ter the annual credit card interest rate as a decimal:')
b_float = float(b)
c = raw_input ('Enter the minimum monthly payment rate as a decimal:')
c_float = float(c)
d = str('Minimum monthly payment:')
e = str('Principal paid:')
e_int = int(e)
f = str('Interest paid:')
f_int = int(f)
g = str('Remaining balance:')
g_int = int(g)
for m in range(1-13):
d = c*a
e = d - f
g = a - e

Answer 1

you should use variable names that help to make the code easier to follow. "balance" instead of "a".
