Bank Teller Project

Hi all! Just finished Bank Teller.

Bank Teller

In this project you will be implementing code that emulates transactions performed between a bank-teller and a customer.

The prerequisites for this project are Python 3 syntax, functions and control flow. Let’s jump right into it!

1. Initializing savings and checking account values.

Creates two variables, one named checking_balance and the other savings_balance . Assign them both the value of zero. Use these as your starting bank balances.

In [127]:

checking_balance = 100009 savings_balance = 23000

2. Create a function to check the Balance

step 1. Check account_type and return the respective balance

Define a function named check_balance() that accepts three parameters account_type , checking_balance and savings_balance . account_type represents a string which can either be "savings" or "checking" . checking_balance and savings_balance represent the respective number balances.

step 2. Check account_type and return the respective balance

Within the function named check_balance() , create an if…elif…else statement. Within each if statement return the customers balance based on the type of account_type they requested.

step 3. Assigning the savings_balance

Within the first if statement use an equal operator to check whether account_type is the same as "savings" . If that is true, set the new variable balance to the value of savings_balance .

step 4. Assigning the checking_balance

Within the second elif statement use an equal operator to check whether account_type is the same as "checking" . If that is true, set the variable balance to the value of checking_balance .

step 5. Return an error statement if there are no matching account_type

Within the else statement, return an error statement given that there were no matches for the previous if...elif statements. Within the else statement, return "Unsuccessful, please enter \"checking\" or \"savings\""

step 6. Create a balance statement

Under the if statements, create a new variable called balance_statement and assign it a value that consists of strings and variables. Concatenate the variables account_type and balance into the account statement. Remember to cast balance to a string using str() in the statement. The statement should be: "Your account_type balance is balance ".

step 7. Return balance statement

Under the balance_statement assignment, close out the check_balance() function by adding a return statement that returns the balance_statement variable.

In [128]:

def check_balance(account_type, checking_balance, savings_balance): if account_type == “checking”: balance = checking_balance elif account_type == “savings”: balance = savings_balance else: print(“Unsuccessful, please enter “checking” or “savings””) balance_statement = "Your " + account_type + " balance is " + str(balance) return balance_statement

3. Calling and Printing the check_balance() function for Checking Account

Now that you have completed the check_balance() function, call it inside a print() function. Call the check_balance() function with these arguments; "checking" , checking_balance and savings_balance . The latter two were already initialized at the start of the project. Your checking balance should print.

In [129]:

print(check_balance(“checking”, checking_balance, savings_balance))

Your checking balance is 100009

4. Calling and Printing the check_balance() function for Savings Account

On the next line, inside a print() function call the check_balance() function with these arguments; "savings" , checking_balance and savings_balance . Your savings balance should print.

In [130]:

print(check_balance(“savings”, checking_balance, savings_balance))

Your savings balance is 23000

5. Create a function to make a deposit

step 1. define function

Define a function named make_deposit() that accepts four parameters account_type , amount , checking_balance and savings_balance . The amount represents the amount to be deposited.

step 2. Initialize deposit_status variable

Inside the deposit function, start by creating a variable named deposit_status and assign it to a an empty string

step 3. Ensure deposit is greater than 0

Write an if statement that checks whether the passed in amount is greater than 0. Step 5 will continue putting code inside this if statement if amount is greater than 0.

step 4. Error if amount is less than 0

Write a corresponding else statement if the if statement fails. Within that else , assign the variable deposit_status to the string value "unsuccessful, please enter an amount greater than 0"

step 5. Checking account_type

Within the if statement that ensures that the amount is greater than 0, write inner if...elif...else statements. Within each if statement add the passed in amount to the customers balance based on the type of account_type they requested and also set deposit_status to "successful" or an error message.

step 6. Deposit to Savings account

Within the first nested if statement check whether account_type is equivalent to "savings" . Then within this if statement on the next line add amount to savings_balance using the += assignment operator. On the next line assign the string value "successful" to the variable deposit_status .

step 7. Deposit to Checking account

Within the next nested elif statement check whether account_type is equivalent to "checking" . Then within this elif statement on the next line add amount to checking_balance using the += assignment operator. On the next line assign the string value "successful" to the variable deposit_status .

step 8. Assign an error statement if there are no matching account_type

Within the next nested else statement, assign the string value "Unsuccessful, please enter \"checking\" or \"savings\"" to the variable deposit_status .

step 9. Create a deposit statement

Outside of all the if statements but still in the function, compose a statement composing of strings and variables used in this function. Then assign it to the new deposit_statement variable. The statement should be: "Deposit of amount to your account_type account was deposit_status ".

step 10. Print deposit statement

On the next line, write a print statement with the deposit_statement as an argument. This will print the deposit statement anytime the deposit function is called.

step 11. Return savings_balance and checking_balance

On the next line return both the savings_balance and checking_balance . This will conclude the make_deposit() function.

In [131]:

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: print(“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 savings_balance, checking_balance

6. Call deposit function and make a savings deposit

On the next line, call the make_deposit() function with these arguments; "savings" , 10 , checking_balance and savings_balance . Assign the function call to the matching checking_balance and savings_balance variables that are also being returned by the function. That is how the new balances are being updated.

In [132]:

checking_balance, savings_balance = make_deposit(“savings”, 10, checking_balance, savings_balance)

Deposit of 10 to your savings account was Successful

7. Print savings balance call after making a savings deposit

Now that a deposit has been made to the savings account, print your savings balance. Call the check_balance() function with these arguments; "savings" , checking_balance and savings_balance within a print function. Your new savings balance should print.

In [133]:

print(check_balance(“savings”, checking_balance, savings_balance))

Your savings balance is 100009

8. Call deposit function and make a checking deposit

On the next line, call the make_deposit() function with these arguments; "checking" , 200 , checking_balance and savings_balance . Assign the function call to the matching checking_balance and savings_balance variables that are also being returned by the function.

In [134]:

checking_balance, savings_balance = make_deposit(“checking”, 200, checking_balance, savings_balance)

Deposit of 200 to your checking account was Successful

9. Print checking balance call after making a checking deposit

Now that a deposit has been made to the checking account, print our new checking balance. Call the check_balance() function with these arguments; "checking" , checking_balance and savings_balance within a print function. Your new checking balance should print.
