Thread: Need Help With My Banking Program

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    int money;
    int withdrawal;
    int balance;
    int deposit;
    char string[9];
    money=100;
    cout<<"Enter the type of transaction you would like to make (deposit or withdrawal)";
    cin.getline(string,9,'\n');
    if(strcmp ( string, "withdrawal") == 0){
    cout<<"Enter the amount of money you would like to withdraw: ";
    cin>>withdrawal;
    balance=money-withdrawal;
    cout<<"Your balance is "<<balance<<"\n";
    system("pause");
    }
    else if(strcmp ( string, "deposit") == 0){
     cout<<"Enter the amount of money you would like to deposit: ";
     cin>>deposit;
     balance=money+deposit;
     cout<<"Your balance is "<<balance<<"\n";
     system("pause");
     }
}

I can't seem to understand why this program wont allow me to enter a withdrawal. It only allows me to make a deposit.

I'd appreciate your help,

What does the program do when you enter withdrawal?

"withdrawal" has 10 letters, you only get 9. Plus you're not accounting for the null character.

Switch to C++ strings so that you don't have to worry about the size of the string.
