Total compensation calculator

The company needs total compensation figures that combine salary and bonus for each employee. Since this calculation requires values from two different columns in the same row, you'll need to iterate through rows rather than transform a single column.

The Tablesaw library has been imported, and employees.csv contains the Salary and Bonus columns.
