void CreateAccount()
{
	Account account;
	ofstream out_file;
	out_file.open("account.dat", std::ios_base::binary);
	if (out_file.is_open())
	{
		out_file.write(reinterpret_cast<char*> (&account),sizeof(Account));
	}
	out_file.close();
}


When I press 1 it just return to menu. Moreover, if I try to press other number like 2, 3 ,4,5,6,7,8 (number of other menu_option) it will right away go to that choice without any input to CreateAccount().
Can anyone explain to me what wrong in my logic here? Thanks a lot!

Which CreateAccount are you talking about (or wanting to call)?

The class member function CreateAccount() to read user input and update class member variables?

The global function CreateAccount() to save something to account.dat ?

Note that the account you save is the default initialised local variable 'account' on line 3, and NOT some other variable called 'account' which you might have set up elsewhere.

I think that the CreateAccount() is also save it to the account.data file and I think that Create Account could let user input the information for their account instead of read from them? Or do I misunderstand something here?

Why do we need SavetoFile here? It's quite new to me, could you please explain more about that?

Thanks a lot!

You can do all those things, if you write the code to make it do those things.

But magic doesn't happen just because you make the names of all the functions involved the same name.


PoorBoiz (38)
I apologize I made a huge mistake their. The original source code has int account_number; for the instance of those case in switch. Here I show you parts of those cases.

}


The variable account_number does not have any value to set up. That what I think is the problem here! One more time, apologize to you for my mistake!

So because I don't know how to set the account_number so I try to get their number by usingmyAccount.GetAccountNumber()for each case? Is it possible?

Thanks a lot. That is the one that I don't know. Make some mistakes in logic thinking
PoorBoiz (38)
After testing, I realized that the variable Account account in SearchAndPrintAccount(int account_number) does not have any value in it. How could I relate it to the one that I just create by using function CreateAccount()?
salem c (3700)
Did you end up with a file called account.dat when you did this?

myAccount.CreateAccount();  // reads from user
SaveToFile(myAccount);  // saves to file


Your SaveToFile contains no error message if the file can't be opened.

You could put some extra output in SearchAndPrintAccount just to see if it's working as you intend.

while (in_file.read(reinterpret_cast<char *> (&account), sizeof(Account)))
	{
		cout << "Processing account number = " << account.GetAccountNumber() << endl;
		// compare account_number with that read from the file
		if ( account.GetAccountNumber() == account_number) {
			cout << "Found it" << endl;
			found = true;
		}
	}


In general, if things aren't working, you should be
- adding error checks if you're not checking for such things
- adding extra cout statements at key points in the code just to see if your intended code paths are actually happening. You can just as easily remove them again when you're happy it's working.

PoorBoiz (38)
It ran, but the problem occurs that is it can store only 1 account and the new one create after that will overwrite the previous. Did I do something wrong here?

kinda work but just only for an account.

Perhaps open the file for appending, whenever you save a new account.
