	EXERCISE ONE

	What is wrong with the following definitions of square? Write a sentence or two describing the issue(s); then, 
	try copying the erroneous examples into a console one-at-a-time and observing the error(s) generated (you may 
	have to attempt to invoke the functions to see the error). What errors are produced (if any) for each erroneous 
	version? Do the errors make sense?

	EXERCISE SEVEN

	lines of "Hello, <name>!"

/**
	EXERCISE EIGHT

	Compound interest can be calculated with the formula found here: 
	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interest#Calculation_of_compound_interest
	F: future value
	P: present value
	i: nominal interest rate
	n: compounding frequency
	t: time

	Write a function 'futureValue' that can be used to calculate the future value of a quantity of money using 
	compound interest.

	Use the function to calculate what the future value of $1700 (P = 1700) deposited in a bank that pays an 
	annual interest rate of 4.7% (i = 0.047), compounded quarterly (n = 4) after 6 years (t = 6) (you can 
	use Math.pow to do exponentiation).
*/

/**
	EXERCISE NINE

	Write your own square-root function called sqrt that accepts a number parameter and returns an approximate 
	square root. Square-root approximations make use of averages. Be sure to use the average function you 
	previously wrote. The first version of your square root function should perform no more than 3 successive 
	averages. Use this resource in case you're not familiar with ancient Babylonian algorithms:
