Description

Description of class members

Fields:

CURRENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER – this private class variable is an int representing the unique number to be used when creating a new account. This is initialized in the static constructor. This is incremented in the instance constructor

A readonly field is like a consts but it is normally assigned when the program is running.

A const is a value that cannot be modified. Its value is set at declaration. i.e. When the program is compiled.

Number – this public instance variable is a string indicating the current account number of this object reference. This must be decorated with the readonly keyword. This is set in the CreateAccount() method.

TRANSIT_NUMBER – this private int is a constant representing the branch number of all the accounts. That is initialized to 314. It is used in the CreateAccount() method to build the account number of this account.

Properties:

Balance – this property is a double that represents the current balance of this object. . This getter   is public and the setter is private.

Names – this property   is a list of string representing the name associated with this object. This getter   is public and the setter is private.

Constructor:

There are two constructors for this class: a static and a private one

static

A static constructor is used to initialise the static fields and properties. It is invoked once in the life time of a program, before ANY member is accessed. There is no access modifier i.e. public, protected or private

Account() – This is the static constructor. It will be used to initialize the class variable CURRENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER to a suitable value e.g. 100000

private Account(string number, string name, double balance) – This is a private constructor that does the following:

• The Number field and the Balance property are initialized to the values of the arguments
• The Names property is initialised to an empty list (use the new operator). And the argument is added to this collection

Methods

public void AddName(string name) – This is a public method adds the argument int0 the Names collection. It is possible to have multiple names associated with this account. This method does not return a value.

public void Deposit(double amount) – This is a public method that increases the property Balance by the amount specified by the argument. This method does not return a value.

public void

The static string method Join enables you to stringify a collection. Use the following code to get string from a collection: string.Join(“, “, Names);

Withdraw(double amount) – This is a public method that decreases the property Balance by the amount specified by the argument. This method does not return a value.

public override string ToString() – This is a public method overrides the corresponding method in the object class to return a stringify form of the object. To display the Names field, you will have to do some extra work because it is a list of strings []

public static Account CreateAccount(string name, double balance = 0) – This is a public static method is used to create accounts. It does the following:

• Builds an account number from the TRANSIT_NUMBER and CURRENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER according to the template “AC-[transit number]-[current account number]. e.g. if the value of TRANSIT_NUMBER and CURRENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER are 314 and 10005 respectively then the account number will be “AC-314-10005”. [Hint: use Format() method to do this.]
• It also increments the CURRENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER field so the next object will have a unique number.
• Instantiate a new account object with the appropriate arguments.
  • Returns the above object

 

Test Harness

Insert the following code statements in your Program.cs file:

 

 

List<Account> accounts = new List<Account>();

Random rand = new Random();

 

accounts.Add(Account.CreateAccount(“Narendra”, rand.Next(50, 500)));

accounts.Add(Account.CreateAccount(“Ilia”, rand.Next(50, 500)));

accounts.Add(Account.CreateAccount(“Yin”, rand.Next(50, 500)));

accounts.Add(Account.CreateAccount(“Arben”, rand.Next(50, 500)));

accounts.Add(Account.CreateAccount(“Patrick”, rand.Next(50, 500)));

accounts.Add(Account.CreateAccount(“Joanne”, rand.Next(50, 500)));

accounts.Add(Account.CreateAccount(“Nicoleta”, rand.Next(50, 500)));

accounts.Add(Account.CreateAccount(“Mohammed”, rand.Next(50, 500)));

 

Console.WriteLine(“\nAll accounts”);

foreach (Account account in accounts)

{

Console.WriteLine(account);

}

 

foreach (Account account in accounts)

{

account.Deposit(55.55);

}

 

Console.WriteLine(“\nAfter $55.55 deposit “);

foreach (Account account in accounts)

{

Console.WriteLine(account);

}

 

foreach (Account account in accounts)

{

account.Withdraw(1.11);

if(account.Balance > 300)

account.AddName(“(Hacked)”);

}

 

Console.WriteLine(“\nAfter $1.11 withdrawal”);

foreach (Account account in accounts)

{

Console.WriteLine(account);

}
