Bank Database

The “Bank Database” project serves as my final project in my Spring 2022 ICS 212 course. The primary objective behind this project was to consolidate and apply the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the entire semester, culminating in the development of a comprehensive final project.

The program serves as a user interface for managing a bank database. It allows users to interact with a linked list data structure, offering menu options to add new records, print all existing records, find records by account number, delete records by account number, and exit the program. The user interface is text-based and guides users through each operation, such as entering account numbers, names, and multi-line addresses when adding new records. The program handles input validation to ensure data integrity and provides appropriate feedback to users.

Demonstration of Program

Here is a look at the user interface:

Welcome to Bank Database Application!

Choose a menu option from the list below by typing its name or a subset of its name.
add: Add a new record in the database
printall: Print all records in the database
find: Find record with a specified account #
delete: Delete existing record from the database using the account # as a key
quit: Quit the program

Let’s type p to print all current records:

Takeaways

Throughout this project, I honed my proficiency in C++ structs, input and output, and pointers. The experience of tackling a substantial project like this taught me how to deconstruct intricate tasks into manageable steps, facilitating consistent and purposeful progress. I also learned the significance of comprehensive documentation in software engineering, enhancing my ability to maintain code clarity through clear and concise comments. These not only enriched my own comprehension but also serve as a valuable resource for future viewers.
