Please take a look at this code and help me to finish:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
	ofstream outData;

	char accountType;
	double minimum=0;
	double current=0;
	double charge =0;
	double s=0;
	double c= 0;
	//bool done = false;
	
	outData.open("g:\\testingData.out");

	cin>> accountType;
	cin>> minimum;
	cin>>current;

	if (accountType < minimum)
		charge = 10;
	else
		if (accountType = minimum)
			s = .04 || c = .05;


	outData.close();


return 0;

}

Thanks

Thomas

Finish what? What is it that you expect the code to do? What is it that you require the code to do? What would you like for us to do? What?

Regards,

Dave

I guess you want to read the input from file.

You are declaring accountType as a char and asking your program to see if it is less than a double called minimum.

The idea of comparing an account "type" to what appears to be a minimum account "balance" sounds fairly wrong to me. Let's assume that we had a few different TYPES of (bank) accounts, such as:

Checking
Savings
Money Market
CD
...etc:

...and that we assigned some type values that map to these names. Let's say:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

char AccountTypes[] = { 'c', 's', 'm', 'd' };

That way, when we were reading in a file, we could have a minimum account balance for each type such that:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

float MinimumBalances[] = { 1000.00F, 100.00F, 100000.00F, 5000.00F };

...might make sense for each corresponding account type. That is, the index of each element in the two arrays coincide with their respective intention. AccountTypes[0] is a kind of "checking" account where the minimum balance required would be contained in MinimumBalances[0] whose value is assigned to be $1000.00 else:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

float UnderMinimumBalanceServiceFees[] = { 10.00F, 2.50F, 100.00F, 25.00F };

...one would be charged UnderMinimumBalanceServiceFees[0] ($10.00) if their balance for that TYPE of account went below the MinimumBalances[0] amount.

Here is what it might look like in "code:"

CPP / C++ / C Code:

enum ACCOUNT_TYPES { CHECKING            = 0,
                     SAVINGS             = 1,
                     MONEY_MARKET        = 2,
                     CERTIFICATE_DEPOSIT = 3 };

// read the actual values from a file                     
float MinimumBalances[] = { 1000.00F, 100.00F, 100000.00F, 5000.00F };
float UnderMinimumBalanceServiceFees[] = { 10.00F, 2.50F, 100.00F, 25.00F };

int main()
{
    // this is not pseudo-code, it is bogus-code

    Open Accounts File
    Open Minimum Balances/Service Fees File
    
    Read Minimum Balances into Array
    Read Service Fees into Array
    Close Minimum Balances/Service Fees File
    
    Loop Through Accounts File
    Compare Account Balance & Account Type against Minimum Balance[Account Type]
    if( Account Balance < Minimum Balance )
    {
        // Assess Service Fee
        Modify Account Balance by Service Fee Amount
        Write to Accounts File
    }
    
    Close Accounts File
    
    return 0;
}
