    Default BankAccount assignment problem

    Hi everyone,

    I have been given an assignment to create a file called FixedStartingBalanceBankAccount. I have also been given a BankAccount class file(attached).

    My assignment is to create a BankAccount object in a variable called myFirstAccount with an initial balance of 5000.

    After this I have to withdraw 200 from the account and display the balance after withdrawal using JOptionPane messageDialog.

    This is the code I have for setting up account with initial balance and making withdrawal. I am not sure if this is the way to do it.

    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class FixedStartingBalanceBankAccount
    {

    public class BankAccount
    {

    //Constructors
    public BankAccount()
    {
    BankAccount myFirstAccount = new BankAccount();
    }
    public BankAccount(double initialBalance)
    {
    initialBalance = 5000;
    }
    //Methods
    public void withdraw(double amount)
    {
    amount = 200;
    }
    }
    }

    If this is correct how do i get the balance and display it using JOptionPane. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have spent hours upon hours pulling my hair out trying to get this to work.

    Default Re: BankAccount assignment problem

    I have overcome some of my confusion and come up with this;

    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class FixedStartingBankBalanceAccount

    {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {


    double balance;
    BankAccount myFirstAccount = new BankAccount(5000);
    myFirstAccount.withdraw(200);
    System.out.println(myFirstAccount.getBalance());

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "myFirstAccount contains:" + balance);
    }
    }
    I am still a little confused on whether I need to declare the variables such as balance or is this done in the BankAccount file??
