Functionality (only qualify for these marks if the program runs)

    
  Starting money correct and program runs for exactly ten years   2
  Implements a menu to allow the user to choose between the three investment products (display menu, get input, branches depending on option selected)   3
  Menu repeats as long as the user doesn't select one of the three products   3
  Investment "Product I" can be chosen, determines changes during a year (loss, gain, no change: 2 marks for each case): correct amount calculated and displayed   6
  Investment "Product II" can be chosen, determines changes during a year (loss, gain, no change: 2 marks for each case): correct amount calculated and displayed   6
  Investment "Product III" can be chosen, determines yearly gains: correct amount calculated and displayed   2
  At the end of each year: the 5 required pieces of information displayed in the correct format (the amounts displayed are somehow based on the original amount invested)   5
  The start balance of each year (after the first) is the end balance of the previous year   1
  End of simulation numbers displayed in the correct format  (the amounts displayed are somehow based on the original amount invested)   5
