Hi all,
Started on Codecademy two weeks ago to stay productive during confinement. First-time coder so looking for any feedback on my codes, and open to any tips, suggestions for encouragement for coding.
This is the link to the Bank Teller project:
https://www.codecademy.com/paths/finance-python/tracks/introduction-to-python-for-finance/modules/introduction-to-jupyter-notebooks/informationals/bank-teller
I’ve followed the instructions as best as possible, and then cross-referenced the solutions. All codes work as required when running codes in order in Jupyter Notebook, but once changing the order, it gets a little whacky with retaining the account balances. I’m not sure if this is because of my codes or just a characteristic of Jupyter Notebook.
Anyway, my functions are below:
Initial balances:
checking_balance = 0
savings_balance = 0
Display available balance function:
def check_balance(account_type, checking_balance, savings_balance):
if account_type == "savings":
balance = savings_balance
elif account_type == "checking":
balance = checking_balance
else:
return 'Unsuccessful, please enter \"checking\" or \"savings\"'
balance_statement = "Your " + account_type + " balance is " + str(balance) + '.'
return balance_statement
Making a deposit function:
def make_deposit(account_type, amount, checking_balance, savings_balance):
deposit_status = ""
if amount > 0:
if account_type == "savings":
savings_balance += amount
deposit_status = "successful."
elif account_type == "checking":
checking_balance += amount
deposit_status = "successful."
else:
deposit_status = 'unsuccessful, please enter \"checking\" or \"savings\"'
else:
deposit_status = "unsuccessful, please enter an amount greater than 0."
deposit_statement = "Deposit of $" + str(amount) + " to your " + account_type + " account was " + deposit_status
print(deposit_statement)
return checking_balance, savings_balance
Making a withdrawal function:
def make_withdrawal(account_type, amount, checking_balance, savings_balance):
withdrawal_status = ""
fail = "unsuccessful, please enter amount less than balance"
if account_type == "savings":
if amount > savings_balance:
withdrawal_status = fail
else:
savings_balance -= amount
withdrawal_status = "successful"
elif account_type == "checking":
if amount > checking_balance:
withdrawal_status = fail
else:
checking_balance -= amount
withdrawal_status = "successful"
else:
withdrawal_status = "unsuccessful, please enter \"checking\" or \"savings\""
withdrawal_statement = "Withdrawal of $" + str(amount) + " from your " + account_type + " account was " + withdrawal_status
print(withdrawal_statement)
return checking_balance, savings_balance
Transferring between accounts Function:
def acc_transfer(acc_from, acc_to, amount, checking_balance, savings_balance):
transaction_status = ""
trans_error = "unsuccessful, please enter amount less than $"
if acc_from == "savings" and acc_to == "checking":
if amount <= savings_balance:
savings_balance -= amount
checking_balance += amount
transaction_status = "successful"
else:
transaction_status = trans_error + str(savings_balance)
elif acc_from == "checking" and acc_to == "savings":
if amount <= checking_balance:
checking_balance -= amount
savings_balance += amount
transaction_status = "successful"
else:
transaction_status = trans_error + str(checking_balance)
else:
transaction_status = "unsuccessful, please enter \"checking\" or \"savings\""
transaction_statement = "Transfer of $" + str(amount) + " from your " + acc_from + " account to your " + acc_to + " account was " + transaction_status
print(transaction_statement)
return checking_balance, savings_balance
Voilà, looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks very much!
