+description: 'This gem calculates the amount of money earned over time through compound
+  interest. It requests user input for the following values: time (in years), annual
+  rate of interest, principle amount, and the number of times the principle amount
+  will be compounded each year. The program works, but the rspec tests don''t pass
+  yet.'
