23.4.9. Class BalanceInquiry

Class BalanceInquiry (Figs. 23.30–23.31) derives from abstract base class Transaction and represents a balanceinquiry ATM transaction. BalanceInquiry does not have any data members of its own, but it inherits Transaction data members accountNumber, screen and bankDatabase, which are accessible through Transaction’s public get functions. Line 6 #includes the definition of base class Transaction. The BalanceInquiry constructor (declared in line 11 of Fig. 23.30 and defined in lines 8–13 of Fig. 23.31) takes arguments corresponding to the Transaction data members and simply forwards them to Transaction’s constructor, using base-class initializer syntax (line 10 of Fig. 23.31). Line 12 of Fig. 23.30 contains the function prototype for member function execute, which is required to indicate the intention to override the base class’s pure virtual function of the same name.

Fig. 23.31. BalanceInquiry class member-function definitions.

Class BalanceInquiry overrides Transaction’s pure virtual function execute to provide a concrete implementation (lines 16–37 of Fig. 23.31) that performs the steps involved in a balance inquiry. Lines 19–20 get references to the bank database and the ATM’s screen by invoking member functions inherited from base class Transaction. Lines 23–24 retrieve the available balance of the account involved by invoking member function getAvailableBalance of bankDatabase. Line 24 uses inherited member function getAccountNumber to get the account number of the current user, which it then passes to getAvailableBalance. Lines 27–28 retrieve the total balance of the current user’s account. Lines 31–36 display the balance information on the ATM’s screen. Recall that displayDollarAmount takes a double argument and outputs it to the screen formatted as a dollar amount. For example, if a user’s availableBalance is 700.5, line 33 outputs $700.50. Line 36 inserts a blank line of output to separate the balance information from subsequent output (i.e., the main menu repeated by class ATM after executing the BalanceInquiry).
