ReadMe: Project Account

Overview

This project does not contain a full, runnable application program. Instead, the only package src.account contains two classes which represent basic bank customer and account information.

Accounts and Customers

The following is known about customer objects, i.e., instances of class Customer.

• They can be created with the command Customer, giving a customer ID number (an integer) and the customer's name (a string) as parameters. E.g. Customer(98765, "Connie Customer").

The following is known about account objects, i.e., instances of class Account.

• They can be created with the command Account, giving the customer object who owns the account as a parameter.

• Each account object has a method get_balance which takes no parameters and returns the current balance (Finnish: "saldo") of the account.

• Each account object has a method deposit which places in the account an amount of money (euros) that is given as a parameter. E.g. account.deposit(65.5).

• Each account object has a method withdraw which takes away from the account an amount of money (euros) that is given as a parameter.

• Each account object has a method transfer_to which takes two parameters: a target account object and a sum of money. It transfers that sum from the account whose method is called into the account given as a parameter. E.g. some_account.transfer_to(another_account, 100.0).

Dependencies and resources

None.

Running the program

As this project is not a full program, and has no user interface, it can not be run as an application like the Butler project, for instance, can.

You can experiment with the classes Account and Customer. Creating a main method for further testing of these classes is left as an exercise.
