Thread: "Account class" problem

You don't need to do any operation in function getBalance, all it says that you have return the current balance which is stored in the data member of the class

Code:

int getBalance()
{
    return currentBalance;
}

So when you call getBalance() it would simply return the balance of the account.

so whats the use of debit and credit? I thought that you should add credit from Account and debit should subtract? Where should I do those operations?

The debit function withdraws cash from the account (subtraction)

and function credit adds money to the current balance of the account. (addition)

You should use those operations when you want to add or subtract money from the account

Yeah I follow that, so is this right?:

Code:

	void credit(int valCredit)
	{
		cout<<valCredit + getAccntBlnce();
	}
	void debit(int valDebit)
	{
		cout<<valDebit + getAccntBlnce();
	}

so waht should i change?

Well, your method won't work, because the data member isn't changed at all, think what would happen if, after showing the amount added to the current balance, then you call the getBalance() function? The balance won't be updated. It would be the same as it was earlier.

You should, instead

Code:

void credit(int balToAdd)
{
    currentBalance = currentBalance + balToAdd; /* where currentBalance is the data member
     that stores the balance of the account and balToAdd is the amount that is to be added to
     the currentBalance */
}

Instead of asking what is right, try compiling and running your program with sample input and examining the output. Play, tinker, experiment. That's what programming is about. That's the *fun* part.
