Class Problem

[logic321]

Hi All,

This is my assignment. You were a very big help to me before in understanding concept, and since I am in the beginning stages here, I was wondering if you could offer me some tips on where to begin, or even a sample program. Thanks.

Create a SavingsAccount class. Use a static data member to contain the annualInterestRate for each of the savers. Each member of the class contains a private data member savingsBalance indicating the amount the saver currently has on deposit. Provide a calculateMonthlyInterest member function that calculates the monthly interest by multiplying the balance by annualInterestRate divided by 12; this interest should be added to savingsBalance. Provide a static member function modifyInterestRate that sets the static annualInterestRate to a new value. Write a driver program to test class SavingsAccount. Instantiate two different savingsAccount objects, saver1 and saver2 with balances of $2000.00 and $3000.00, respectively. Set annualInterestRate to 3%. Then calculate the monthly interest and print the new balances for each of the savers. Then set the annualInterestRate to 4%, and calculate the next month's interest and print the new balances for each of the savers.

I'm too tired at the moment to get any understanding out of this, it's 2am here, on the other hand I expect to have a day at work tomorrow, with absolutely nothing to do. So I guess I'll take a look at it there....

That's fine. Thanks for the help. I will look for your reply tomorrow.

This assignment is a dead giveaway. Why don't you start with creating the class and the (empty) methods, the static member, and the data member?
