Introduction:

• Discuss the importance of banking systems in managing financial transactions.

• Introduce the concept of a basic banking system implemented in C.

• Outline the functionalities to be covered in the code.

Code Overview:

• Explain the purpose of each header file included (stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h).

• Define constants for maximum accounts and maximum transactions.

• Define structures for transactions and accounts, including arrays to store transaction history.

Functions:

• Create Account Function

  • Create a new account with a unique account number, name, and zero balance.

  • Add the account to the accounts array.

void createAccount() {
    // Code for createAccount function
}

Deposit Function

• Add a specified amount to the balance of a given account.

• Record the deposit transaction in the account's transaction history.

void deposit(int accountNumber, float amount) {
    // Code for deposit function
}

Withdraw Function

• Deduct a specified amount from the balance of a given account.

• Check for sufficient balance before processing the withdrawal.

• Record the withdrawal transaction in the account's transaction history.

        void withdraw(int accountNumber, float amount) {
            // Code for withdraw function
        }
  

Transfer Function

• Transfer a specified amount from one account to another.

• Check for sufficient balance in the sender's account before processing the transfer.

• Record transfer transactions in both sender and recipient accounts' transaction histories.

void transfer(int fromAccount, int toAccount, float amount) {
    // Code for transfer function
}

View Transactions Function

• Display the transaction history for a given account.

void viewTransactions(int accountNumber) {
    // Code for viewTransactions function
}

Main Function

1. Present a menu to the user with options for banking operations.

2. Handle user input using a do-while loop and a switch statement.

3. Call the appropriate functions based on the user's choice.

int main() {
    // Code for main function
}

Conclusion

• Summarize the functionalities and capabilities of the basic banking system implemented in C.

• Discuss potential enhancements or additional features that could be added to the system.

Encourage further exploration and customization of the code for practical applications
