Assignment 2

The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to flex your programming muscles gained in Programming Concepts 1.  It will serve as your final review before we start new material.

You have been asked by your employer, Acme Banking, to create a banking program.   Acme is in the midst of a customer drive, so every customer has been given $500 to open an account ...therefore all starting balances are $500.00.  Your program must allow the user to either deposit money or withdraw it as well as be able to show current balance.  Each transaction should always display the customer's new balance.  As safeguards, you will ensure your program will always ask the customer to verify their transaction, not allow a withdrawal or deposit of 0 nor will it allow a customer to overdraw his/her account.  You may wish to add other safeguards.  You should code appropriate messages when you deny service.    The program should continue running until the user indicates he/she wishes to quit. 

Style

The purpose of the function main() is only to call other functions.  Failure to follow this rule will result in a deduction of up to 10 points (20 percent of grade), depending on the severity of departure of guidelines.

You are required to follow the programming style outlined in Chapters 2-6.  Style is very important in the programming world since it helps readability and will aid other programmers in understanding your code.  We will follow certain style rules in our class but keep in mind that there are variations found throughout the programming world.  The key is to develop a style and then follow it.  We will follow a style common to C++ which  includes:

• Each program will begin with comments:

                Program Name
                Your Name
                The date the program was completed
                Comments describing the purpose of the program            

• You will follow the indentation style as shown in chapter 2.  This includes indenting all code contained within the function main.
• You will comment, according to the style displayed in chapter 6, all functions.

Grading

This program is worth 50 points.   Up to 45 points will be awarded based on functionality (the program does what it is suppose to do).  Up to 5 points will be based on proper commenting.  

Due Date

The program is due by midnight, Monday, Sept 15.  Your program should be mailed to my e-mail address, shalfhill@pjc.edu with your program attached.  Submission after midnight, according to PJC's system clock, will receive a 20% deduction for missing a deadline.

What do you turn in?

For this assignment you will turn in your program as an attachment.   Please include your name, phone and e-mail address that I can contact you if I have problems with the program. 

Extra Credit

Up to 7 points extra credit for a flow chart (created in Power Point or some other drawing package).  More details in class.
