Chapter 13, Problem 17PC

Group Project

17. Customer Accounts

This program should be designed and written by a team of students. Here are some suggestions:

• One student should design function main, which will call other program functions or class member functions. The remainder of the functions will be designed by other members of the team.

• The requirements of the program should be analyzed so each student is given about the same workload.

Write a program that uses a structure to store the following information about a customer account:

• Name

• Address

• City, state, and ZIP

• Telephone number

• Account balance

• Date of last payment

The structure should be used to store customer account records in a file. The program should have a menu that lets the user perform the following operations:

• Enter new records into the file

• Search for a particular customer’s record and display it

• Search for a particular customer’s record and delete it

• Search for a particular customer’s record and change it

• Display the contents of the entire file

Input Validation: When the information for a new account is entered, be sure the user enters data for all the fields. No negative account balances should be entered.
