Project Description

Banking System Project

The Banking System project aims to develop a feature-rich and user-friendly banking solution that combines the robustness of C-based backend functionalities with the flexibility of Python-based frontend user interface.

  • Group Size: You will work in groups of two students.
  • Data Storage: Data will be stored in text files.
  • Sample Data: Each group of students will create a file with at least 5 rows of sample data to be submitted with the codes and presentation slides.

Sample Data Format

Each row in the file will have the following information, separated by commas:

  • RIB
  • advisorID
  • username
  • password
  • date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY)
  • net monthly salary
  • total monthly loan payments
  • current account balance

Sample data:

  • 14707080701234567890139, 12345, AnnaB, tWp54@, 20/10/1995, 2500, 500.6, 7890.25
  • 14707080701234567890156, 12345, Kate78, Zpt#$5, 10/05/1978, 4000, 0, 45233.99

Additionally, a file for banking advisors needs to be included. Each advisor will have an advisorID, username, password, and a list of customers identified by their RIB.

Sample Advisor Data Format

  • 12345, advisor1, pass1, 14707080701234567890139
  • 12345, advisor1, pass1, 14707080701234567890156
  • 20003, advisor2, pass2, 14707080701234567890300

Project Requirements

1. Data Storage and Retrieval

  • Load customer data from a text file into a dynamic array of structures of type Customer.
  • Load advisor data from the second text file into a dynamic array of structures of type Advisor.
  • Create a file “messages” to save the messages sent by customers to their advisors.

Sample Message Data Format

Each row will have the following information, separated by commas:

  • advisorID
  • customerRIB
  • message

Sample data:

  • 12345, 14707080701234567890139, Hello I need an appointment to talk about a loan
  • 20003, 14707080701234567890300, Please reissue my credit card ending with 0042

2. Core Banking Functionalities (Implemented in C)

  • Implement core banking functionalities using the C programming language.
  • Allow customers and banking advisors to perform essential operations such as checking account balances, transferring money, depositing, withdrawing funds, and sending/receiving messages.

3. Operations Supported by Your Program

  • Log In
  • Check Personal Details
  • Update Personal Details
  • Transfer Money
  • Withdraw
  • Deposit
  • Loan Eligibility
  • Send Message
  • Banking advisors can perform all previous operations on customers data, except for sending messages. They can also add or delete customers.
  • Log Out

4. Command-Line Interface (CLI) Design (Implemented in Python)

  • Design a command-line interface (CLI) in Python to serve as the user interface for the banking system.
  • Write a Python script that interacts with the C program.
  • Design intuitive menus and prompts to guide customers and advisors through the available options and gather input from them effectively.

5. Testing and Debugging

  • Test the integration between the Python script and the C program thoroughly.
  • Debug any issues that arise during testing and refine the implementation as needed.

6. Documentation and Presentation

  • Provide clear documentation for both the C program and the Python script.
  • Prepare a short presentation to demonstrate the functionality of the banking system and discuss the implementation details.

Important Dates

  • Deadline: Friday, June 14th, at midnight.
  • Submission Requirements: C and Python codes, text files containing customer information, advisor information, and messages, short documentation (6 to 8 pages), and presentation slides.
  • Presentations: Scheduled during the lab session on the week following the deadline (Monday, June 17th, Tuesday, June 18th, and Thursday, June 20th). Each group will have 5 minutes to present their project, followed by a 5-minute question and answer period.
