Explanation

Class Definition:
- NuclearDecaySimulator class holds the parameters for the simulation: initialAmount
  
  (the initial quantity of the substance), decayConstant (the decay rate), and timeStep (the granularity of time steps in the simulation).
Constructor:
- Initializes the parameters of the simulation.
simulate Method:
- Computes and displays the amount of substance remaining over time.
- Uses the formula $N_0 \cdot e^{-\lambda t}$ , where $N (t)$ is the amount remaining at time $t$ , $N_0$ is the initial amount, and $λ\lambda$ is the decay constant.
Main Function:
- Prompts the user to input the parameters.
- Creates a NuclearDecaySimulator object with the user-provided parameters.
- Calls the simulate method to display the decay simulation results.
