Financial functions are a subset of built-in functions that are used for financial calculations and modeling.
These functions are typically available in programming languages that are commonly used for financial
applications, such as Excel, MATLAB, and Python.

Some common financial functions include:

 Future value (FV): Calculates the future value of an investment based on a series of regular
payments and a fixed interest rate.
 Present value (PV): Calculates the present value of a future payment or series of payments, based
on a discount rate.
 Net present value (NPV): Calculates the net present value of a series of cash flows, taking into
account the time value of money.
 Internal rate of return (IRR): Calculates the discount rate at which the net present value of a series
of cash flows equals zero.
 Payment (PMT): Calculates the periodic payment required to pay off a loan or investment, given
a fixed interest rate and repayment period.
 Yield (YIELD): Calculates the yield on a bond or other fixed-income security, based on the
current market price, face value, and coupon rate.
 Amortization (AMORT): Calculates the amortization schedule for a loan or investment, showing
the repayment schedule and interest costs over time.
 Compound interest (COMPOUND): Calculates the compound interest on an investment, taking
into account the interest rate and compounding period.

Logical functions are a subset of built-in functions that perform logical operations on data, typically
Boolean values (true/false). These functions are used to test conditions and make decisions in
programming.

Some common logical functions include:

 AND (&&): Returns true if both operands are true.

 OR (||): Returns true if either operand is true.
 NOT (!): Returns the opposite Boolean value of the operand.
 XOR (^): Returns true if one operand is true and the other is false.
  IF-THEN-ELSE: Evaluates a condition and returns one value if true and another value if false.
 Comparison operators: == (equal to),!= (not equal to), > (greater than), < (less than), >= (greater
than or equal to), and <= (less than or equal to). These operators return a Boolean value based on
the comparison of two values.

These functions are commonly used in programming tasks that require decision-making and branching
logic, such as conditional statements and loops. They are also used in Boolean algebra, which is a branch
of algebra that deals with logical operations on true/false values.
