Calculating compounding frequencies

Different compounding frequencies can greatly affect how much your money will grow. In this exercise, we are going to compare three different savings accounts, each offering a different annual rate at a different compounding frequency, to see which one will grow your money the most.

In each example you will start with an initial investment of $10,000 that you invest for ten years. numpy_financial has already been imported for you as npf.
