### Discussion and Questions
If you have other ideas or questions, join the [JuliaActuary Github Discussions](https://github.com/orgs/JuliaActuary/discussions). Or come say hello on the community [Zulip](https://julialang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/249536-actuary) or [Slack #actuary channel](https://julialang.org/slack/). We welcome all actuarial and related disciplines!
### Help mode
You can also access help text when using the packages in the REPL by [activating help mode](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/REPL/index.html#Help-mode-1), e.g.:
```julia-repl
julia> ? survival
survival(mortality_vector,to_age)
survival(mortality_vector,from_age,to_age)
Returns the survival through attained age to_age. The start of the
calculation is either the start of the vector, or attained age `from_age`
and `to_age` need to be Integers.
Add a DeathDistribution as the last argument to handle floating point
and non-whole ages:
survival(mortality_vector,to_age,::DeathDistribution)
survival(mortality_vector,from_age,to_age,::DeathDistribution)
If given a negative to_age, it will return 1.0. Aside from simplifying the code,
this makes sense as for something to exist in order to decrement in the first place,
it must have existed and survived to the point of being able to be decremented.
Examples
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
julia> qs = UltimateMortality([0.1,0.3,0.6,1]);
julia> survival(qs,0)
1.0
julia> survival(qs,1)
0.9
julia> survival(qs,1,1)
1.0
julia> survival(qs,1,2)
0.7
julia> survival(qs,0.5,Uniform())
0.95
```

### Pull Requests
JuliaActuary is open source; you are free to modify, use, or change your copy of the code - but if you make enhancements please consider opening a pull request ([basic walkthrough here](https://kshyatt.github.io/post/firstjuliapr/)). Beginners are welcome and we can help with your first pull request!
### Issues
If you find issues, please open an issue on the relevant package's repository and we will try and address it as soon as possible.
### Project Board
See the [Good first Issues](https://github.com/orgs/JuliaActuary/projects/2) project board on Github for simple, self-contained ways to contribute such as adding small new features, improving the documentation, or writing up a tutorial on how to do something simple!
### Creating Examples, Tutorials, or Blog Posts
This site is a basic Quarto website. New content can be added by creating a pull request with a new page in the `posts` folder. A blog post is distinguished from the other examples content by the simple virtue of having the `blog` category field in the topmatter of the `.qmd` file.
