    Default help! simple ATM

    /*Hello. I wonder if someone could help me with this simple atm machine.
    I need to show 10 transactions in 10 arrays. Show the last 10 transactions and when the user comes
    to the 11:eth transaction, the program shold erase the first index array and show the last transaction.
    So the program need to show highly only 10 transaction and follow to overwrite the first transaction and so on. the balance should always be saved with all the transfers. I can't understand wath im doing wrong. Maybe someone can help me on the way...
    I will appriciate all help. Thanks.*/

    If sum is the amount of money they are putting in, shouldn't it be double?

    What if someone puts in $200.95?

    for(int i = 0; i < transactions.length-1; i++)
    {
    if(transactions[i] == 0)
    {
    position = i;
    break;
    }
    }

    It appears that you're skipping the last index in the array.

    I don't understand what you mean with, that I have skipped the last index of the array?
    Could you explain more? I don't really know hao to solve the program.
    Thanks for your attention.

    This line:
    for(int i = 0; i < transactions.length-1; i++)

    You are starting at 0, which is the first index. You are ending at 1 index before the index before the last. Why is this happening? Because of your use of the < sign and then the length-1 call.

    You have to remember that the length of the array is 1 value greater than the last index. There are two ways to write a conditional statement that goes through every spot in the array. The first is to go while you are less than the length:
    for(int i = 0; i < transactions.length; i++)
    The second is to go while you are less than or equal to the length of the array, minus 1:
    for(int i = 0; i <= transactions.length-1; i++)

    You combined the two ways of doing it, resulting in you ignoring the last index.

    it seems strange. I think the array only save the 10 transactions. But what about the balance?
    Try to make about 15 transactions with deposit and withdrawl. Look att the balance. It seems strange to me????
    Can you note something wrong that I don't understand, maybe is the array of only 10 saved index?
    Anyway the program balance should save all the transactions from the beginning....
    Do you have any idea about that, so the balance will save all transactions from beginning?
    Can someone help me to solve this problem. I want to save all the balance from the beginning and only show the 10 latest
    transactions in the program. Is this possible?
