What is the purpose of the getBalance() method in this code?

[plain void]

Depends, are you passing a different interest rate each time? Or same? In your given example interest rate is fixed and defined inside of method definition

same i think

[plain void]

So that's why we didn't pass it, we kept it inside where it's needed. Since there's two rates based on condition, that's why we declared em in separate conditions.

[prisma vigil]

so things on conditions are not passed through ()?

[plain void]

Conditions are just conditions, it has no relation with something being passed upon or not. If your method relies on data from somewhere else, then you pass it using "arguments" which are called "parameters" when defined in method definition.
