What is semi-annual?

[powwka]

I some JavaScript homework, and this is the problem -
Enter the beginning balance and annual interest rate
then click Submit to compute balance at end of 6 months and at the end of one year
with interest compounded semi-annually.

Does that mean to add interest every 6 months? Every month?

No I'm not a programmer, and I don't suck at English. I didn't want to google...

Thanks fobot.

Bi-annually would mean the same thing, in your case.

You didn't want to google? what, you just wanted to waste other people's time instead of your own? Hell, you could google this is 10 seconds, well faster then writing a post...
