    Question Several questions about my code

    Hello,

    The comments in the code are my specified questions about the code. Please help me with finding the proper solution. I searched on the web, but I did not find the right solution for my problem. I couldn't find the right way to implement the information I found on the internet. So that's why I need some people who have more experience with Java who are willing to help me.

    Could you help me please?

    This is my code (with comments/questions):

     
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
     
    class Bank{
      double balance;
      //Account account;
      ArrayList<Account>account = new ArrayList<Account>();
      CommandReader commandReader;
     
      Bank(){
        commandReader = new CommandReader();
      }
     
      void run(){
        commandReader.run();  // The commandReader is a class which already should be fine
      }
     
      void enroll(String name){
        if(account.equals(account)){  //Why is this always true? I doesn't want to create two of the same accounts. In the commandReader the input is enroll Name
          System.out.println("already enrolled");
        } else {
          account.add(account); //This does also not work properly! when enroll Name is typed in by the user, there should be enrolled an account with name = Name and balance = 0
        }
      }
     
      void print(String name){
        if(account.equals(account)){
          System.out.println("Account of "+name);
          System.out.println("  balance: "+balance);
        } else {
          System.out.println("no such name "+name);
        }
      }
     
      void printAll(){
        if(account.equals(account)){
          System.out.println(account); //What I want to print here are all the accounts and they should be printed the same as the method above prints the accounts
        }
      }
     
      public static void main(String[] args){
          new Bank().run();
      }
    }
     
    class Account{
      double balance;
      String name;
     
      Account(){
        bank = new Bank(); //Is this necessary?
      }
     
      void user(String name, double balance){
        this.name = name;
        this.balance = balance;  //I think I don't understand it yet. The name and balance is what I want to store of the accounts
      }
    }

    Default Re: Several questions about my code

    I don't understand you. I'm a beginner in Java, so I'm not familiair with everything. How do I define the accounts.equals in my Account class? And do you know why my accound.add(account); doesn't work?

    My whole code with some modifications:

    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
     
    class Bank{
      double balance;
      //Account account;
      ArrayList<Account>account = new ArrayList<Account>();
      CommandReader commandReader;
     
      Bank(){
        commandReader = new CommandReader();
      }
     
      void run(){
        commandReader.run();
      }
     
      void enroll(String name){
        balance = 0;
        /*if(account.equals(account)){
          System.out.println("already enrolled");
        } else {*/
          account.add(user);
        //}
      }
     
      void deposit(String name, int amount){
        if(account.equals(account)){
          balance = balance + amount;
        } else {
          System.out.println("no such name "+name);
        }
      }
     
      void withdraw(String name, int amount){
        if(account.contains(name)){
          balance = balance - amount;
        } else {
          System.out.println("no such name "+name);
        }
      }
     
      void print(String name){
        if(account.equals(account)){
          System.out.println("Account of "+name);
          System.out.println("  balance: "+balance);
        } else {
          System.out.println("no such name "+name);
        }
      }
     
      void printAll(){
        /*if(account.contains()){
          System.out.println(account);
        }*/
        System.out.println(account.toString());
      }
     
      void printRed(){
        if (balance < 0){
          System.out.println(account.toString());
        } else {
          System.out.print("no negative balances");
        }
      }

    Default Re: Several questions about my code

    class Account{
      double balance;
      String name;
      Bank bank;
     
      Account(){ //default constructor
        this("", 0.0, null); 
       // bank = new Bank(); //Is this necessary?
      }
    //fully specified constructor
      Account(String name, double balance, Bank b){
       this.name=name;
       this.balance=balance;
       this.bank= b;
      }
     
      void user(String name, double balance){
        this.name = name;
        this.balance = balance;
      }
     //I would normally define getters here and set all my variables to private.  If you do this You will need in isEquals to use a.getName().equals(name); instead of //a.name.equals(name);  this is an example of a getter
    // public String getName(){
    //return name;
    // }
    @Override // This is a string representation of your object
      public String toString(){
      return "Name: " + name+ " balance: " + balance;
    }
    @Override   // This is how you define an isEqual for this particular class.  Instead of it comparing if it is the same instance of a object it will compare the three things in the object.
     
    public boolean equals(Account a){
     if(a.name.equals(name) && a.bank.equals(bank) && a.balance==balance){
     return true;
    } 
     return false;
    }
    }

    This is where I would start with your code for account

    Default Re: Several questions about my code

    Thank you for your clear explanation! But I have still 1 question, how do I add a new account with a name which is entered by the user and an initial balance of 0? I want to do that in the enroll method in the class Bank.

    This is what I have right now:

    void enroll(String name){
       account.add(account);    //This should add new items to the ArrayList which should be stored stored in class Bank, for a clearer view: see the code I uploaded before
    }
