Yes, that's a program that demonstrates a technique. It was not written for performance or efficiency. If it was, of course one would not calculate (1+i)^n in every loop but simply multiply the previous FV by (1+i).

This is even shorter: zero lines. ;-)

1,06 [ENTER] ENTER] ENTER] 1000

[x] => 1060,00
[x] => 1123,60
[x] => 1191,02
[x] => 1264,48
...

OK, the year is not displayed here.

But what is this "financial display mode" in the subject?
All I see is FIX 2. ?!?
