C++ const Account createAccount(); – It will prompt the user for the account nam

Question

C++

const Account createAccount();

– It will prompt the user for the account name, interest rate, and starting balance in that order

– The prompts shall appear as follows: Let's set up your account. First, what's the name of the account? What is the interest rate of your [NAME] account? Finally, what is the starting balance of your [NAME] account?

– You may NOT assume that the name of the account contains only a single word – You may assume the user will always type an interest rate as a decimal value (e.g. 0.05) – The user is allowed to type their amount of money with or without a ‘$’

I just need help with the user inputing the balance of the account and skip the $ char.

Explanation / Answer

#include<iostream.h>

#include<stdio.h>

#include<stdlib.h>

const Account createAccount()

{

char acc_name[50]; // Variable for account name

float int_rate,start_bal; //Variables for interest rate and starting balance

int i;

char bal[20]; // variable for accepting the balance woth $ sign

cout<<endl<<"Let's set up your account";

cout<<endl<<"First, what's the name of the account?";

gets(acc_name);

cout<<endl<<"What is the interest rate of your "<<acc_name<<" account?";

cin>>int_rate;

cout<<endl<<"Finally, what is the starting balance of your "<<acc_name<<" account?";

cin>>bal; // Storing the balance with $ sign or without $ sign into bal

if(bal[0]=='$') // checks whether $ sign is available with balance or not

{

for(i=0;bal[i]!='';i++)

{

bal[i]=bal[i+1]; // logic for removing the $ sign from the balance

}

}

start_bal=atof(bal); // converting the balance into floating point value

//cout<<endl<<acc_name;

//cout<<endl<<int_rate;

//cout<<endl<<"Amount "<<start_bal;

}
