12 month interest summary

[andigirlsc]

I am trying to print out a report for a 12 month interest summary. So far, I cannot seem to get the ending balance for the previous month to be the starting balance for the next month. Here is the code I have so far:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

#include "SavingsAccount.h"

int main()
{
    //Create one instance of a SavingsAccount
    SavingsAccount myAccount("Z1234A", 4000.0, 0.004);
    double currentBalance;
    char makeDeposit = ' ';
    double amount = 0.0;
    char makeWithdrawal = ' ';
    double INT_RATE = .004;
    double startingBal = 0.0;
    double endingBal = 0.0;

    //Set decimal spaces to 2
    cout << fixed << setprecision(2);

    string accountNumber;
    accountNumber = myAccount.getAcctNo();

    //Display the name of software and company
    cout << setw(55) << " BANKING SOLUTIONS SOFTWARE 1.0 " << endl;
    cout << setw(54) << "Prioleau Banking Corporation " << endl << endl;

    //Welcome the customer
    cout << setw(61) << "Welcome to the Prioleau Banking Corporation!" << endl << endl;

    //Display the current state of the account including
    //account number, current balance and interest rate 
    accountNumber = myAccount.getAcctNo();
    cout << "Your account number is: " << accountNumber << endl;

    currentBalance = myAccount.getBalance();
    cout << "Your current balance is: $" << currentBalance << endl;

    double startingRate;
    startingRate = myAccount.getInterestRate();
    cout << "The current interest rate is: " << ".4%" << endl << endl;

    //Customer makes a deposit
    cout << "Will you be making a deposit today (Y or N)?" << endl;
    cin >> makeDeposit;
    cout << endl;

    if (toupper(makeDeposit) == 'Y')
    {
        cout << "Please enter the amount that you would like to deposit." << endl;
        cin >> amount;
        cout << endl;

        myAccount.addToBalance(amount);
        currentBalance = myAccount.getBalance();

        //Display the ending state of the account
        cout << "Your current balance is now: $" << currentBalance << endl << endl;
    }
    else
        cout << "Thank you." << endl << endl;

    //Customer makes a withdrawal
    cout << "Will you be making a withdrawal today (Y or N)?" << endl;
    cin >> makeWithdrawal;
    cout << endl;

    if (toupper(makeWithdrawal) == 'Y')
    {
        cout << "Please enter the amount that you would like to withdraw." << endl;
        cin >> amount;
        cout << endl;

        myAccount.withdrawFromBalance(amount);
        currentBalance = myAccount.getBalance();

        //Display the ending state of the account
        cout << "Your current balance is now: $" << currentBalance << endl << endl;
    }
    else
        cout << "Thank you." << endl << endl;

    //Display a 12-month summary of the account that shows the effect
    //of the current interest rate on the growth of the balance
    //assuming that the interest is applied as simple interest once per month
    cout << "As of today's balance, here is a 12-month summary of the account that "<<
            "shows the effect of the current interest rate on the growth " << 
            "of the balance; assuming that the interest is applied as simple interest "<<
            "once per month." << endl << endl << endl;

    //Headers
    cout << "Month" << setw(20) << "Starting" << setw(20) << "Interest" << setw(20)
             << "Ending" << endl;
    cout << "  #" << setw(21) << "Balance" << setw(19) << "Earned" << setw(23)
             << "Balance" << endl;

    //line number variable for print out
    int lineNum = 1;

    //Formula for ending balance
    endingBal = currentBalance + (currentBalance * INT_RATE);

    //12 month interest report output line 1        
    cout << setw(3) << lineNum << setw(21) << currentBalance + INT_RATE << setw(18) << currentBalance * INT_RATE 
        << setw(24) << endingBal;
        cout << endl;

    //Formula for starting balance
    startingBal = endingBal;    

    while (lineNum <= 11)
    {
        //Line number counter for 12 month interest report output
        lineNum += 1;

        //12 month of interest report output
        cout << setw(3) << lineNum << setw(21) << endingBal + INT_RATE << setw(18) << startingBal * INT_RATE 
            << setw(24) << endingBal;
            cout << endl;

    }
    //end while

    cout << endl << endl;
    cout << "Thank you for choosing Prioleau Banking Corporation. Have a wonderful day!" << endl;

    cout << endl << endl;
    system ("pause");
    return 0;
}

Here is the class associated with this program:

class SavingsAccount
{
    //Data declarations
private:
    string accountNumber;
    double balance;
    double rate;

    //Methods declarations
public:
    SavingsAccount(string, double, double); //Prototype for constructor
    double getBalance();
    void addToBalance(double);
    string getAcctNo();
    double getInterestRate();
    void withdrawFromBalance(double);
};

//Methods implementation

//This is the constructor
SavingsAccount::SavingsAccount(string acctNo, double startingBalance, double startingRate)
{
    accountNumber = acctNo;
    balance = startingBalance;
    rate = startingRate;
}

double SavingsAccount::getBalance()
{
    return balance;
}

void SavingsAccount::addToBalance(double amount)
{
    balance += amount;
}

string SavingsAccount::getAcctNo()
{
    return accountNumber;
}

double SavingsAccount::getInterestRate()
{
    return rate;
}

void SavingsAccount::withdrawFromBalance(double amount)
{
    balance -= amount;
}
//END OF CLASS SavingsAccount

You've made it far harder than it needs to be.

Essentially, you need to change the value of current balance 12 times. Something like this:

current_balance = current_balance+(current_balance * INT_RATE);

If you remove starting_balance and ending_balance completely you'll be making it a lot simpler to keep track of.
