Welcome to C++ Project 6 - Simple Banking System

This project will guide you through creating a simple banking system in C++ where users can create accounts, deposit, withdraw, and check their balances.

Hardware Setup

Ensure you have the following hardware components:

A computer with internet access.
A keyboard and mouse for typing and navigation.

Software Requirements

Here are the software tools you'll need for this project:

Visual Studio Code or CLion - These are popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for C++ development.
GCC or Visual Studio - Required to compile and run C++ programs.

Knowledge Prerequisites

To successfully complete this project, you should be familiar with the following concepts:

Basic understanding of C++ syntax.
Understanding of functions and basic input and output operations in C++.

Project Steps:

Done

Download and install Visual Studio Code or CLion.
Ensure you have a C++ compiler installed. For example, you can install GCC or use the built-in compiler in Visual Studio.

Done

Open your chosen IDE (Visual Studio Code or CLion).
Create a new file named simple_banking_system.cpp.

Done

Open the simple_banking_system.cpp file in your IDE.

Type the following code:


#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class BankAccount {
private:
    string accountHolder;
    float balance;

public:
    BankAccount(string name, float initialBalance) {
        accountHolder = name;
        balance = initialBalance;
    }

    void deposit(float amount) {
        balance += amount;
        cout << "Deposit successful. New balance: $" << balance << endl;
    }

    void withdraw(float amount) {
        if (amount > balance) {
            cout << "Insufficient funds." << endl;
        } else {
            balance -= amount;
            cout << "Withdrawal successful. New balance: $" << balance << endl;
        }
    }

    void checkBalance() {
        cout << "Current balance: $" << balance << endl;
    }
};

int main() {
    string name;
    float initialBalance;

    cout << "Enter account holder name: ";
    getline(cin, name);
    cout << "Enter initial balance: ";
    cin >> initialBalance;

    BankAccount account(name, initialBalance);
    int choice;
    float amount;

    do {
        cout << "\nBanking System Menu:\n";
        cout << "1. Deposit\n";
        cout << "2. Withdraw\n";
        cout << "3. Check Balance\n";
        cout << "4. Exit\n";
        cout << "Enter your choice: ";
        cin >> choice;

        switch (choice) {
            case 1:
                cout << "Enter amount to deposit: ";
                cin >> amount;
                account.deposit(amount);
                break;
            case 2:
                cout << "Enter amount to withdraw: ";
                cin >> amount;
                account.withdraw(amount);
                break;
            case 3:
                account.checkBalance();
                break;
            case 4:
                cout << "Goodbye!" << endl;
                break;
            default:
                cout << "Invalid choice. Please try again." << endl;
        }
    } while (choice != 4);

    return 0;
}

Save the file.

Done

Open the terminal in your IDE and navigate to the directory containing simple_banking_system.cpp.
Type the following command to compile your application:
```
g++ simple_banking_system.cpp -o simple_banking_system
```
Type the following command to run your application:
```
./simple_banking_system
```
Use the menu to deposit, withdraw, and check the balance of the account.
