Thread: Automatic output after variable change?

Ok so firstly let me say that I'm a complete novice with coding and C++.
Right then, I have an assignment and one of the tasks asks me to automatically print value of my variable (at least, it think its called a variable?) every time i change it. I have no idea how to do this. I think I have to use some sort of boolean thing and the bit of the program that will make the printing happen will be in my class file, I think. But I have no idea how to implement this.

I'm probably making no sense but guidance would be really appreciated.

The program I'm making is a small bank account program. I have a class file and a main program file.

As for printing values, you use std::cout.

Thank you for your reply, I'll try and explain my coding to you.

This is my header file, the relevant lines are probably 114-122.
[C++] // BankAccount.h // BankAccount class definition #include <string> class Ba - Pastebin.com
There I have two methods to deposit and withdraw from accounts.

As I understand it, I can just simply add this line there at 116 and 121:

Code:

 std::cout << balance << std::endl;

This will show my balance after every change to it. The only issue is, I only want it to output my balance after a change to only 1 instance of the balance. In my program file i have 4 different accounts (BankAccount account1, account2), (CurrentAccount account1) and (DepositAccount account1). The only one of these accounts I want to have automatically output the result after each change for is the DepositAccount account1.

Heres my program file if it helps: [C++] #include <iostream> #include "BankAccount.h" int main() { CurrentAccou - Pastebin.com
