Hello all, I am still needing some help on this code, I have gone a bit
further on it. Thank you for the help. I am trying to understand how to
make the file searchable and how I am to make the deposit and withdrawl
interact with the transaction class. I need to just search the file only for the deposits and withdrawls and
the amount in the account with a time stamp. Thank you for your
assistance.
Hi Igorati,
In a ledger program I wrote, I setup the account classes something like below. I'm not sure what you mean by searching a file. Are you trying to read an already existing file?
class Transaction: def __init__(self): self.name = '' self.amount = 0.0 self.type = ''
class Account: def __init__(self, name=''): self.name = name self.ledger = []
def newtransaction(self, name, amount, type): transaction = Transaction() transaction.name = name transaction.amount = amount transaction.type = '' self.ledger.append(transaction)
def getbalance(self): balance = 0.0 for transaction in self.ledger: balance += transaction.amount return balance
# Within your main program somewhere. myaccount = Account( 'Savings Account')
# get transaction data from user or file name = 'cash' amount = 20.0 type = 'deposite' myaccount.newtransaction( name, amount, type)
print "%s Balance is $ %.2f" % (myaccount.name, myaccount.getbalance())
