Introduction:
The banking sector is witnessing a significant transformation driven by
technological advancements. In line with this trend, the development of a basic
banking application using C++ offers an insightful exploration into the
fundamentals of software engineering, data structures, and object-oriented
programming principles. This project aims to create a simple yet functional
banking system capable of account management, balance inquiries, deposits,
withdrawals, and fund transfers.
Project Overview:
The project revolves around a C++ program designed to emulate the functionalities
of a bank. It utilizes object-oriented programming concepts to organize the code
into manageable classes and structures. The primary components of the project
include user account management, transaction processing, input validation, and
user interface implementation.
User Account Management:
User accounts are managed using a custom-defined struct named userInfo. This
struct encapsulates essential user information such as PIN, checking balance, and
savings balance. User accounts are stored in an unordered map data structure
(userMap), where the username serves as the key and the userInfo struct serves as
the value. The createAccount method allows users to create new accounts with the
provided credentials.
Transaction Processing:
