    '     The first function here SABRVolCurve(), contains a series of
    '     function calls leading upto the main function call, the second function
    '     within this file ( SABRVolCurvePart() ).
    '     which contains the answer that we are looking for.

    '     The first function here is simply an example of how to construct the parameters 
    '     in order acquire either a string Key (that is to be passed to other functions)
