F[0] = salary * save * 0.01
Fall 2008 Course, Problem set 4.
I don't get the '0.01', why do we have to multiply the savings (salary and percentage for retirement fund) by 0.01.
It's like taking only one percent of the amount reserved for retirement, why?

Sorry, my bad, I didn't go through the template code of the test function. 0.01 is used since all percentages are given in integer form, I was expecting my function to get percentages in floats.
