Challenge 1: Implement an Account Class Using Virtual Functions

In this challenge, we'll implement an account class along with two derived classes saving and current.

Problem Statement

Write a code that has:

  • A parent class named Account.
    • Inside it define:
      • a protected float member balance
    • We have three virtual functions:
      • void Withdraw(float amount)
      • void Deposit(float amount)
      • void printBalance()
  • Then, there are two derived classes
    • Savings class
      • has a private member interest_rate set to 0.8
      • Withdraw(float amount) deducts amount from balance with interest_rate
        • Deposit(float amount) adds amount in balance with interest_rate
        • printBalance() displays the balance in the account
    • Current class
      • Withdraw(float amount) deducts amount from balance
        • Deposit(float amount) adds amount in balance
        • printBalance() displays the balance in the account`

Input

  • In Savings class, balance is set to 50000 in parametrized constructor of Savings object
  • In Current class, balance is set to 50000 in parametrized constructor of Current object

Here’s a sample result which you should get.

Sample Input

  Savings s1(50000);
  Account * acc = &s1;
  acc->Deposit(1000);
  acc->printBalance();
  
  acc->Withdraw(3000);
  acc->printBalance();
  
  
  Current c1(50000);
  acc = &c1;
  acc->Deposit(1000);
  acc->printBalance();
  
  acc->Withdraw(3000);
  acc->printBalance();
