Final answer:
To predict the size of a population of organisms, write a program that takes the starting number, average daily increase, and number of days. Use a loop to calculate and display the size for each day.
Step-by-step explanation:
To predict the size of a population of organisms, you can write a program that takes the starting number of organisms, the average daily population increase (as a percentage), and the number of days they will multiply. You can use a loop to calculate and display the size of the population for each day.
Here's a step-by-step explanation of how you can implement this program:
- Ask the user for the starting number of organisms.
- Ask the user for the average daily population increase as a fraction in decimal form.
- Ask the user for the number of days the organisms will multiply.
- Initialize a variable to store the current population size and set it to the starting number of organisms.
- Use a loop to iterate through each day.
- Inside the loop, calculate the population increase by multiplying the current population size by the average daily population increase.
- Add the population increase to the current population size.
- Display the current population size for each day.
