What you need to do
-------------------

Build a function to compute compound interest given a starting amount(``P``), an annual interest rate (``r``), the number of compoundings per year (``n``) and the total number of years (``t``). Your function should return ``A``, which is the value of the principle plus the interest after compounding. Use this formula:

Call your function with the following test values: ``P = 1000``, ``r = 0.02``, ``n=1``, ``t=5``. Print the resulting output.
