#include <iostream>
int main() {
double principal;
std::cout << "Please enter the principal amount: ";
std::cin >> principal;
std::cout << "Projecting growth for 10 years..." << std::endl;
// Simulation loop
for (int year = 1; year <= 10; ++year) {
// Add 5% interest
principal = principal + (principal * 0.05);
std::cout << "Year " << year << ": " << principal << std::endl;
