(1) Discuss one topic that you struggled with in this homework assignment Be specific. Use a specific problem from the homework assignment or text and give as much of the solution process as you can. If you choose this option make sure you cover all three parts: several sentences on what you found confusing, a specific problem which was confusing, and your solution process up until where you got stuck. “I have no idea how to start” is not a solution process.

(2) Discuss one example of a current homework topic arising in either your profession or your hobby of interest. Make sure your example is detailed and includes specific NUMERICAL examples. Your response should be a paragraph or more.

Consider a CheckingAccount class, which has the following fields:  acctNo, name, balance, status, which represents an active or inactive account, minimum balance, and service charge.  If the balance of a checking account falls below the minimum balance, it becomes inactive. No withdrawals may be made until balance is raised above the minimum balance, at which time the account becomes active again. Create appropriate consturctors, accessors, and mutators for the CheckingAccount class. The class should also include the following methods:

 

                       

·       withdraw: a method that determines whether the account is inactive before a withdraw is made. (No withdraw will be allowed if the account is not active.) A withdrawal is then made.

 

·       deposit: a method that determines whether the account is inactive before a deposit is made. If the account is inactive and the deposit brings the balance over the minimum balance, the account becomes active gain. A deposit is then made.

 

·       getMonthlyStatement: a method that  prints the account information at the end of each month. If the balance in the account were less than the minimum balance requirement, service fee would be charged.

 

Use notepad or another text editor to create a text file named deposit.txt. The file should contain the following numbers, one per line:

100.00

124.00

78.92

37.45

 

Next, create a text file named withdraw.txt. The file should contain the following numbers, one per line:

29.23

78.12

100.00

48.78

23.87

50.2

 

The numbers in the deposit.txt are the amount of deposits that were made to a checking account during the month. The numbers in the withdraw.txt are the amount of withdraws that were made to a checking account during the month. Write a program that creates a CheckingAccount object, with starting balance 100. The program should read the values from the deposit.txt file and add them to the account balance. The program will also read the values from the withdraw.txt file and subtract them from the account balance.  The program then displays the monthly statement of the account.
