EXP Function Programming Example
 
This example uses the EXP function to calculate the growth of a bacterial
colony over a 15-day period. The program prompts you for an initial
population and the rate of growth.
 
CLS    ' Clear screen
INPUT "Initial bacterial population"; Colony0
INPUT "Growth rate per day as a percentage of population"; Rate
R = Rate / 100 : Form$ = "##  ###,###,###,###"
PRINT : PRINT "Day        Population"
FOR T = 0 TO 15 STEP 5
    PRINT USING Form$; T, Colony0 * EXP(R * T)
NEXT
 
Sample Output
 
Initial bacterial population? 10000
Growth rate per day as a percentage of population? 10
 
Day        Population
 0           10,000
 5           16,487
10           27,183
15           44,817
