You have been assigned a project, "Bank Account System: An Object-Oriented Finance Project" that will enhance your Python skills and enable you to think like a programmer.
In this project, you will be required to design and develop a Bank Account Management System using Python which should allow users to create a bank account, deposit and withdraw funds from it, transfer funds between accounts, and display the balance of a particular account.
Below requirements are necessary for the project:
Python 3.0 (or higher),
Understanding of Python datatypes, dynamic statements, exception handling statements, built-in functions and methods, and
Basic knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts.
Please carefully read the requirement of this project, as they will serve as the foundation for you.
Account Creation: the program should prompt users to create a new bank account and asks for their name, account type, and initial deposit amount. Upon receiving the user's input, the program creates a new BankAccount object, stores it in a list of accounts, and associates it with the user.
Deposit: the program should prompt users to select the account they want to deposit money into. Upon selecting an account, the program allows the user to deposit money into the selected account. The program updates the account balance, and prints the updated balance to the console.
Withdrawal: the program should prompt users to select the account they want to withdraw money from. Upon selecting an account, the program checks if the account has sufficient balance to withdraw the requested amount. If the account has sufficient funds, the program allows the user to withdraw money from the selected account, updates the account balance, and prints the updated balance to the console.
Transfer: the program should prompt users to select the account they want to transfer money from, and then the account they want to transfer the funds to. Upon selecting the source and target accounts, the program checks if the source account has sufficient funds to transfer the requested amount. If the source account has sufficient funds, the program allows the user to transfer money from the source account to the target account, updates the balances of both accounts, and prints the updated balances to the console.
Print Account Balance: the program should prompt users to select the account they want to check the balance of. Upon selecting an account, the program prints the current balance of the selected account to the console.
Here are some functional and non-functional requirements [optional] for the project:
Code Documentation: the programmer should add comments to the code to explain what each method and function does. This makes it easier for others to understand the code and modify it if needed.
Error Handling: the programmer should add error handling to the program to ensure that the program does not crash if the user inputs invalid data or if there are any errors during program execution.
Testing: the programmer should test the program thoroughly to ensure that it works as expected. They should create test cases to cover all possible scenarios, including edge cases.
User Interface: the programmer can create a simple user interface for the program using a graphical user interface (GUI) library such as Tkinter or PyQT. This can make the program more user-friendly and accessible to non-technical users.
Data Persistence: the programmer can implement data persistence by storing account data in a database or a file. This allows users to retrieve their account data even if they close the program or restart their computers.
Security: the programmer should implement security measures such as encryption to protect user data and prevent unauthorized access.
Documentation: the programmer should create documentation for the program, including a user manual and a technical documentation guide. This makes it easier for users and developers to understand how the program works and how to use it.
system's functionalities including account creation, deposit, withdrawal, transfer, and print account balance, each of which prompts the user to select an account and provides relevant information based on the user's inputs, and error handling, system/account security can help to build more advanced finance-related systems.
Code Output
Code Documentation
This document provides a detailed explanation of the BankAccount class, which is designed to represent a simple bank account with basic operations such as deposit, withdrawal, transfer, and balance printing.
BankAccount Class
Attributes/Data Objects
accountName: a string representing the account holder's name.
accountType: a string representing the type of the account (e.g., "Savings" or "Checking").
accountBalance: a floating-point number representing the current balance of the account.
Constructor - __init__(self, accountName, accountType, initialBalance)
Initializes a new instance of the BankAccount class.
Parameters:
accountName (str): the name of the account holder.
accountType (str): the type of the account.
initialBalance (float): the initial balance of the account.
Actions:
Sets the accountName, accountType, and accountBalance attributes based on the provided parameters.
Calls the PrintBalance method to print the initial balance.
Methods
Deposit(self, amount)
Deposits a specified amount into the account.
Parameters:
amount (float): The amount to be deposited.
Actions:
Adds the deposited amount to the accountBalance.
Prints a message indicating the deposit and calls the PrintBalance method.
Withdraw(self, amount)
Withdraws a specified amount from the account.
Parameters:
amount (float): The amount to be withdrawn.
Actions:
Checks if the withdrawal amount is greater than the current balance.
If sufficient funds are available, deducts the withdrawal amount from the accountBalance.
Prints a message indicating the withdrawal and calls the PrintBalance method.
Transfer(self, amount, accountBeneficiary)
Transfers a specified amount from the current account to another account.
Parameters:
amount (float): The amount to be transferred.
accountBeneficiary (BankAccount): The beneficiary account object.
Actions:
Checks if the transfer amount is greater than the current balance.
If sufficient funds are available, deducts the transfer amount from the current account's accountBalance and adds it to the beneficiary account's accountBalance.
Prints a message indicating the transfer and calls the PrintBalance method for both accounts.
PrintBalance(self)
Prints the current balance of the account.
Actions:
Prints a message showing the account holder's name, account type, and current balance.
