Could you specify what you need help with Jill.

[Amadeus]

skyhawk is right, we'd be able to provide more input if we knew what problem you were having. I can, however, give you a few pointers to start with.
#1. You've declared first name and last name as char types, and the address as an int. You may wish to use the inherent string class provided by C++, or failing that, a char array for those variables.

string FirstName;
string LastName;
string address;

or

char FirstName[20];
char LastName[20];
char address[50];

Quote

i need to use the account # as the position in the array
i need to write a program that allows the user to choose whether to:
first load up the customer information for 5 customers

then:
Depsoit
Withdraw
print customers
print transaction for customer
(i guess this would be a menu?)

Sounds good. Something like the following will do

void display_menu(void)
{
   cout << "1. Deposit" << endl;
   cout << "2. Withdraw" << endl;
   cout << "3. Print Customers" << endl;
   cout << "Print Transaction" << endl;
}

You can use the value chosen by the user in a switch statement. This is only a start mind you. Let us know if you need any more help.

im not sure what i really need to do but this is what i have
after entering the names and ssn number the menu box will come up to choose what you want it to do.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class Customer
{
private:

public:
string FirstName;
string LastName;
string address;
srring accountNum;
};

class Transaction
{
private:
public:

char Type;
int amount;
};

void display_menu(void)
{
cout << "1. Deposit" << endl;
cout << "2. Withdraw" << endl;
cout << "3. Print Customers" << endl;
cout << "Print Transaction" << endl;
}

int main

{

cout << "How many transactions would you like to process? (1-5)" << endl;

cout << "What is your First Name? " << endl;
cin >> FirstName;

cout << "What is your Last Name? " << endl;
cin >> LastName;

cout << "What is your Social Security Number? " << endl;
cin >> accountNum;

Wot's your question? I don't get it.

umm ok, so are you having problems with the menu coming up? Are there any error messages that you are receiving? Is a specific function not working properly? Where are you having troubles?

[Amadeus]

I think you may be wondering how to load up the information. First thing you'll have to do is declare as many instances of the class as you'll need. From there, once the user has entered information, you'll have to put it in the appropriate variables. The easiest way to do this will be to make some member functions for your classes, most notably for information entry, deletion, and manipulation.
Other notes:

srring accountNum;

should have the keyword string if it's a string, but you mentioned that you would be using that account number as an array index as well. For that, you should make it an int

Also, there was a small error in my display function. "Print transaction" should have a 4 next to it.

I guess I should have mentioned as well that once you know how many transactions a user wishes to process, you'll have to put in a loop to carry out the specified number.

[Jill]

what i need to do is when it asks how many transactions to enter, it will keep coming up until it gets to that number.
then the menu come up. like this.


void display_menu(void)
{
cout << "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <<endl;
cout << "x 1. Deposit x" << endl;
cout << "x 2. Withdraw x" << endl;
cout << "x 3. Print Customers x" << endl;
cout << "x 4. Print Transaction x" << endl;
cout << "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <<endl;
cin>>cchoice

This is my Problem on this code: when i type in a number it doesnt execute what i want it to do. are these case statements right? also i dont know that to do for #4

switch (cchoice)
{
case 1:
cout << "What is you SSSN? ";
cin << SSN;

cout << "How much would you like to deposit? ";
cin << sDeposit;
break;

case 2:
cout << "What is you SSSN? ";
cin << SSN;
cout << "How much would you like to withdraw? ";
cin << sAccount;
break;

case 3:
cout<<setw(20)<<"Account number"
<<setw(13)<<"Name"
<<setw(9)<<"Balance" << endl;

cout<<setw(20)<<"_________________"
<<setw(13)<<"__________"
<<setw(9)<<"_______"<<endl;

cout<<setw(20)<<sName;
cout<<setw(13)<<AccountNumber
<<setw(9)<<Balance<<endl;
break;

case 4:
break;

}
return 0;
}

This is what needs to happen when they type ina number

1. or 2. Deposit and Withdraw: it will prompt the user for the account # , and amount to enter or withdraw.

3. Print customers: will show all data( account number, names, balance) printed to screen

4. Print transaction: will prompt for a account and then print all of the transactions (type, Amount)
this is the part im stuck on, what to put into the case statements to make 1-4 happen.

This is a classic entry-level C++ programming assignment. We used an almost identical project as an assignment halfway through the year for the "C++ for programmers" course at Berkeley. Read the book, follow the lecture notes, and fill in the blanks yourself.

Well, that was extremely helpful! If you'd care to read the rules of the forum, we generally try to help people as long as they're giving it a good try themselves. Jill does appear to be giving it a shot.
Is it obviously an assignment from an introductory or intermediate class? Of course it is. Could I write the entire thing, debugged and optimized, in 30 minutes or less? Of course I can. Point is, she does appear to be trying to learn.

If you ever come in this forum with that attitude again i will be very angry!!


Jill your doin just fine! you are following the policies perfectly give me some time to look over your code and i will post some help later tonight.

[Jill]

thanks for the encouragement guys, this isnt easy if your new to it.

You're entitled to feel however you want, but cyberscribe is somewhat right in my opinion. As long as we don't do the work for her, I think it's ok.

Not that anyone should care what I think
