// Question 12
// Brofoyedur is a small town in the Central Region of Ghana. It has been estimated that the population of this town is about 2000 people and that the population is increasing at a rate of 15% every six months. You are required to write a computer solution to determine the number of years that it would take for the population size to exceed two million for the village to become a city.
