Hi,
I'm writing a small program that takes an input file such as this:
then processes the info, adding or subtracting to the balance of the checking or savings account as needed.
Ideally, the output should be similar to this:
My program will consist of 3 additional boolean functions (titled: deposit, withdrawl, transfer) to handle the processing of this information (seems silly to me why these are boolean; checking to see if it will be succesful should happen before the function is called, IMO).
I'm currently just testing the deposit function on the checking account, seeing if I get the correct total deposit balance at the end, and prints "Success!" for each succesful run.
So far the code I've got is giving me an incorrect answer. I've stared at this for a very long time, and it usually takes a fresh look to spot the problem, so if you can, I'd appreciate any help. I should be getting around 200 as the answer, but it shows me "0." For some reason, the checking_balance is not being changed, even though I used 'float &balance' in my function :/
Here is my code so far (please ignore the 'using namespace std;'...bugs me too, but the prof makes us use it):
I'm writing a small program that takes an input file such as this:
Code:
Checking Deposit 50.00
Savings Deposit 100.00
Savings Withdrawal 21.50
Checking Transfer 42.68
Checking Deposit 14.95
Checking Withdrawal 25.00
Savings Deposit 1.25
Checking Deposit 25.00then processes the info, adding or subtracting to the balance of the checking or savings account as needed.
Ideally, the output should be similar to this:
Code:
Welcome to the Bank!
Please enter your name: Mark
Transaction Amount Savings Checking
-------------------- ---------- -------- -----------
Checking Deposit 50.00 0.00 50.00
Savings Deposit 100.00 100.00 50.00
Savings Withdrawal 21.50 78.50 50.00
Checking Transfer 42.68 121.18 7.32
Checking Deposit 14.95 121.18 22.27
Checking Withdrawal 25.00 *Insufficient Funds*
Savings Deposit 1.25 122.43 22.27
Checking Deposit 25.00 122.43 47.27
