Banking System Simulator (OOP Project
in Java)
This beginner-level project will allow students to simulate a basic bank account system
using Object-Oriented Programming in Java.
🔧 Features:
- Create a class `BankAccount`
- Attributes: `accountHolder`, `balance`, `accountNumber`
- Methods: `deposit()`, `withdraw()`, `checkBalance()`
🔁 Sample Interaction:
1. Create account
2. Deposit money
3. Withdraw money
4. Check balance
5. Exit
🎯 Concepts Practiced:
- Encapsulation
- Constructors
- Method overloading
- Data validation
Starter Code (BankAccount.java & BankApp.java)
File: BankAccount.java
public class BankAccount {
private String accountHolder;
private double balance;
private String accountNumber;
public BankAccount(String accountHolder, String accountNumber) {
this.accountHolder = accountHolder;
this.accountNumber = accountNumber;
this.balance = 0.0;
}
public void deposit(double amount) {
if (amount > 0) {
balance += amount;
System.out.println("Deposited: ₱" + amount);
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid deposit amount.");
}
}
public void withdraw(double amount) {
if (amount > 0 && amount <= balance) {
balance -= amount;
System.out.println("Withdrawn: ₱" + amount);
} else {
System.out.println("Insufficient balance or invalid amount.");
}
}
public void checkBalance() {
System.out.println("Account Holder: " + accountHolder);
System.out.println("Account Number: " + accountNumber);
System.out.println("Current Balance: ₱" + balance);
}
}
File: BankApp.java
import java.util.Scanner;
public class BankApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
BankAccount account = null;
while (true) {
System.out.println("\n1. Create account");
System.out.println("2. Deposit money");
System.out.println("3. Withdraw money");
System.out.println("4. Check balance");
System.out.println("5. Exit");
System.out.print("Choose an option: ");
int choice = scanner.nextInt();
switch (choice) {
case 1:
scanner.nextLine(); // consume leftover newline
System.out.print("Enter account holder name: ");
String name = scanner.nextLine();
System.out.print("Enter account number: ");
String accNum = scanner.nextLine();
account = new BankAccount(name, accNum);
System.out.println("Account created successfully!");
break;
case 2:
if (account != null) {
System.out.print("Enter amount to deposit: ");
double deposit = scanner.nextDouble();
account.deposit(deposit);
} else {
System.out.println("Please create an account first.");
}
break;
case 3:
if (account != null) {
System.out.print("Enter amount to withdraw: ");
double withdraw = scanner.nextDouble();
account.withdraw(withdraw);
} else {
System.out.println("Please create an account first.");
}
break;
case 4:
if (account != null) {
account.checkBalance();
} else {
System.out.println("Please create an account first.");
}
break;
case 5:
System.out.println("Thank you for using the banking system. Goodbye!");
return;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid option. Try again.");
}
}
}
}
Sample Student Answer (Write-up)
In this project, I created a class `BankAccount` that models a simple bank account. I added
fields for the account holder's name, balance, and account number. I implemented deposit
and withdraw methods with checks for invalid input and insufficient balance. The project
helped me understand how to encapsulate data and how objects interact with user input in
the main class. I also added simple validation logic to make the simulation more realistic.
