Description
Purpose: The purpose for this project is to reinforce the knowledge learned in Chapter 11.
Objectives:
-
Write base class and derived classes
-
Apply theory of polymorphism
Problem description:
Write bank Account family classes. The Account class is base class. CheckingAccount and SavingsAccount are derived classes. The class diagrams are following:
Account
-‐‑id: int
-‐‑balance: double
+Account()
+Account(id: int, balance: double)
+setBalance(balance:double):void
+getBalance():double
+setId(id:int):void
+getId():int
+deposit(amount:doube): void
+withdraw(amount:double):void
+toString():String
CheckingAccount
+withdraw(amount:double):void
+toString():string
SavingAccount
-‐‑interestRate: double
+setInterestRate(rate:double):void
+getInterestRate():double
+withdraw(amount:double):void
+addInterest():void
+toString():string
Requirement:
The class design could be better. However, we are limited with the knowledge we have now. So the above class diagram is reasonable. All methods are explained by their names. Please pay attention to withdraw methods.
The Account class withdraw method is implemented by doing nothing. The CheckingAccount withdraw method must fulfill the policy that the withdraw amount must greater than 0 and less than or equal to current account balance. The
SavingsAccount withdraw method must fulfill the policy that the minimum balance of the account must be 500 all the time. Also the withdraw amount must greater than 0. If the condition cannot be fulfilled, either withdraw method will do nothing but return.
When addInterest method in SavingsAccount class, the account balance updated to current_balance * (1 + interestRate) where interestRate is in decimal form. For instane, 6% is 0.06.
The students must write a main function to test these accounts. In main function, polymorphism must be used to handle a collection of accounts.
Sample pseudo code for main function
-
Declare an array of Account, named accounts, of size 4
-
Initialize every element in accounts array. Make accounts[0] and accounts[1] be CheckingAccount and accounts[2] and accounts[3] be SavingsAccount
-
Make deposit and withdraw for each account and print out the account information to see the result
-
If the account is SavingsAccount, call addInterest function to update the account balance. Then print out the account information
