The Problem: Manual Banking Inefficiencies
In traditional banking, managing transactions manually leads to significant challenges. Basic operations like deposits, withdrawals, and balance inquiries
become time-consuming and are highly susceptible to human errors. This often results in data inconsistencies, delayed processing, and a poor customer
experience.

Without an automated system, tracking customer accounts, ensuring data integrity, and providing quick service becomes nearly impossible, highlighting a
clear need for a structured and efficient solution.
Project Objectives: Simulating Core Banking
Our primary objective is to develop a simplified Bank Management System using C programming. This project aims to simulate essential banking
operations, providing a foundational understanding of how such systems function programmatically.

Simulate basic banking functionalities for account holders.

Provide a command-line interface for user interaction.
Demonstrate fundamental programming concepts in a practical context.
Lay the groundwork for more complex financial applications.
Tools & Technology Stack
This project is built using a straightforward and accessible technology stack, making it ideal for learning and implementation in a classroom setting. We
focus on core programming principles without relying on complex external dependencies.

Programming Language: Development Environments:

C Programming Language (ANSI C standard)

Operating Platform: Turbo C++ (DOS-based IDE)

Code::Blocks (Cross-platform IDE)
Cross-platform compatibility (Windows/Linux via terminal)
GCC Compiler (GNU Compiler Collection)

Libraries:

No external libraries required; utilizes standard C libraries only.

Key System Features
Our Bank Management System offers fundamental functionalities to manage customer accounts, providing a practical demonstration of data handling and
transaction processing.

Program Flowchart: A Simplified View
The system follows a clear, menu-driven flow, guiding the user through available operations. This logical structure ensures ease of use and efficient
navigation within the banking application.

User Choice

Each action leads back to the main menu, allowing for continuous operations until the user decides to exit the system.
Core Code Snippets
These snippets illustrate the fundamental structure and key functions within the C program, showcasing how data is defined and basic operations are
handled.

Structure Definition (Account) Function for Deposit Main Menu Logic

struct Account { void deposit(struct Account *acc, double int main() {

int accountNumber; amount) { int choice;
char name[50]; acc->balance += amount; do {
double balance; printf("Deposit successful.\n"); printf("\nBank Menu:\n1. Create
}; } Account\n2. Deposit\n");
printf("3. Withdraw\n4. Check
Balance\n5. Exit\n");
printf("Enter choice: ");
scanf("%d", &choice);
// ... switch case for choice
} while (choice != 5);
return 0;
}
Sample Program Output
Here's a glimpse of the program in action, demonstrating the user interaction and system responses for various banking operations.

Bank Menu: 1. Create Account 2. Deposit 3. Withdraw 4. Check Balance 5. Exit Enter choice: 1

Enter account number: 1001 Enter name: Alice Smith Enter initial deposit: 500 Account created successfully for Alice Smith (Acc No: 1001) with
balance $500.00

Enter choice: 4 Enter account number to check balance: 1001 Account Number: 1001, Name: Alice Smith, Balance: $500.00

Enter choice: 3 Enter account number: 1001 Enter amount to withdraw: 150 Withdrawal successful. New balance: $350.00
Key Learnings & Future Enhancements

Reflections and Next Steps

Challenges Faced Future Improvements
Effective use of struct for data organization. Implement file I/O for persistent data storage.
Developing robust logic for transaction validation. Add features like account deletion and transfer funds.

Handling user input and error scenarios. Introduce user authentication and security measures.

Ensuring data persistence (beyond simple in-memory storage). Develop a graphical user interface (GUI) for better usability.

This project served as an excellent foundation for understanding system design and practical C programming.
