Get rid of the "display" member function (a bank account should not display anything on the screen unless for debugging purposes). You can show the contents in main instead.
Otherwise it's acceptable.
And... do you want it to be able to create more accounts for more customers? Is this what you want to accomplish?

Yes.And... do you want it to be able to create more accounts for more customers? Is this what you want to accomplish?
You can make new ones to return the data you need. In a safe way.
Then you simply need an array. Std::vector is perfect for it.Yes.
Thanks Elysia and Todd.
Another couple tips.
For balance, a double would be a better choice than an int. If I deposit 50 cents, how would you track that?
Also, when an account is "opened" (when your constructor is called), it would be a good idea to set an initial balance of zero.
Finally, class names typically would have a capital first letter, so "Account" vs "account".

double isn't actually how real financial software keeps track of money. It's usually just a big integer that's denominated in cents. Because it's always precise and you don't get some of the issues that you would using a floating-point, like the "hole" towards zero, or rounding errors. But for this assignment, you could go with either representation.
