/sci/ - Science & Math

I'd like your help with a relatively simple problem, /sci/.
I have an initial number. After each second, the number increases by one
percent of the previous number.

For example, my initial value is 100 and at second #1, it's 101, and at second #2,
it's 102.01, and so on.

I'd like to know a relatively simple method of determining the number after
"n" seconds. My current knowledge would require that I manually calculate
every previous value.

Thanks!

Try compiling with strict IEEE flags. Sometimes your compiler will have --fast-math (or whatever the equivalent is) turned on by default, or as part of a -Ox optimization, because it's very rare that anyone needs that kind of precision. If you use strict IEEE, it might force the machine to evaluate the function more rigorously.
