p = input("Amount: ")
n = input("No. of Years: ")

The code is self-explanatory. However, let's make some points clear:
- '\n' used in print statements simply means a newline.
- The str() function is used to convert numbers to string (text) so that they can be displayed using the print() function.
While saving the code as an executable script (i.e., a text file with .py extension and executable permission) in GNU/Linux, please don't forget to add this line at the very beginning of the code:
