To determine which part of the code should be placed into a function, we should look for the segment of code that is repeated or could be reused with different parameters. In the provided code snippets, the calculation of the amount using compound interest can be encapsulated in a function.
The code that calculates the total compound interest based on parameters for principal, rate, and time could be defined as a function.
Here's a suggested function encapsulation:
def calculate_compound_interest(principal, rate, time):
Amount = principal * (pow((1 + rate / 100), time))
Total = Amount + principal
return Total
# Using the function
principal = 10000
# First condition
rate1 = 10.25
time1 = 5
print("Compound interest is", calculate_compound_interest(principal, rate1, time1))
# Second condition
rate2 = 5.25
time2 = 10
print("Compound interest is", calculate_compound_interest(principal, rate2, time2))
In this function, calculate_compound_interest
, you can easily compute the total amount for any principal, rate, and time, making your code more modular and easier to maintain.
So among the provided options, the code block that handles the calculation of the total interest (which involves the principal, rate, and time) should be placed into a function.
Therefore, the correct choice for your question would be:
- Calculate the amount and print it (the calculation of
Amount
andTotal
can be encapsulated into a function).
Specifically, any of the following lines could be part of the function:
Amount = principal * (pow((1 + rate / 100), time))
Total = Amount + principal
print("Compound interest is", Amount + principal)
But ideally, all of these should be wrapped into a function for better organization and reusability.
