And your *code*??

I will point out that I have a complete
GUI'd ATM that does similar things you
were asking, but no interest calcs.

Some of the reasons I did _not_
point it out to you are..
a) I suspect it is overkill for what
you want (the code is 1394 lines)
b) It would have you coming back
asking 'what lines do I change
to make it calculate interest, and
what changes do I make?'

That is just not how (this) group
operates. People who help here have
had to work beside, or correct the
code of, too many clueless individuals
who got through their course on
'borrowed code'.

I disagree vehemently with your
instructors approach, and making
assurances here that that is how
he/she does it will get you nowhere
(we care about helping people to learn
Java, but not the slightest bit about
this instructors dubious teaching methods).

Do something useful for yourself,
write _some_ code, and ask a specific
question, otherwise, take it back to
the instructor.

BTW - you still have not mentioned
which school/institution this is.
