Question

Just so this does not seem too out of context and so I don’t have to re-post ALL my code, here is my original question: Object is initializing to unwanted value

Question: How do I design the following code, within the for loop, so that it is a Transaction method, such as void Transaction::promptUser() and then asks the user whether they would like to perform a transaction on their checking or savings account? It will then ask what transaction they will want to do and it will affect the corresponding account.

   int main () {
 BankAccount checking(0.00);
    BankAccount savings(0.00);
    Transaction c(checking);
    Transaction s(savings);
    for(int i = 0; i < 10 ; i++) {
        cout << "Make an option" << endl;
        cout << "1. Checking "   << endl;
        cout << "2. Savings"     << endl;

        int choice;
        cin >> choice;
        if (choice == 1) {
            c.prompt();
            c.printReciept();
        }
        else {
            s.prompt();
            s.printReciept();
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Create an Account class which implements printReciept() and other methods common to any account type. Then create CheckingAccount and SavingsAccount inheriting from Account.
