Python Programming: Inheritance Exercise

Inheritance in Bank Accounts

Overview:

You will practice writing classes and using inheritance by modeling different types of Bank accounts.

You will practice these programming concepts we've covered in class:

• Classes
• Inheritance

Deliverables

One .py file with code that solves the problem.

Requirements

You task is to write a series of classes that meet the criteria outlined below.

---

Directions

• Create a base BankAccount class
  • Bank accounts keep track of their current balance
  • Bank accounts have a deposit method
  • Bank accounts have a withdraw method
  • the deposit method returns the balance of the account after adding the deposited amount.
  • the withdraw method returns the amount of money that was successfully withdrawn.
  • Bank accounts return False if someone tries to deposit or withdraw a negative amount.
  • Bank accounts are created with a default interest rate of 2%
  • Bank accounts have a accumulate_interest method that sets the balance equal to the balance plus the balance times the interest rate
  • accumulate_interest returns the balance of the account after calculating the accumulated interest
• Create a ChildrensAccount class
  • Children's bank accounts have an interest rate of Zero.
  • Every time accumulate_interest is executed on a Child's account the account always gets $10 added to the balance.
• Create an OverdraftAccount class
  • An overdraft account penalizes customers for trying to draw too much money out of their account.
  • Overdraft accounts are created with an overdraft_penalty property that defaults to $40.
  • Customer's aren't allowed to withdraw more money than they have in their account. If a customer tries to withdraw more than they have then the withdraw method returns False and their balance is deducted only by the amount of the overdraft_penalty.
  • Overdraft accounts don't accumulate interest if their balance is below zero.

Sample Input:: You can copy the below to test your code. The sample output below that is what you should get.

basic_account = BankAccount()
basic_account.deposit(600)
print("Basic account has ${}".format(basic_account.balance))
basic_account.withdraw(17)
print("Basic account has ${}".format(basic_account.balance))
basic_account.accumulate_interest()
print("Basic account has ${}".format(basic_account.balance))
print()

childs_account = ChildrensAccount()
childs_account.deposit(34)
print("Child's account has ${}".format(childs_account.balance))
childs_account.withdraw(17)
print("Child's account has ${}".format(childs_account.balance))
childs_account.accumulate_interest()
print("Child's account has ${}".format(childs_account.balance))
print()

overdraft_account = OverdraftAccount()
overdraft_account.deposit(12)
print("Overdraft account has ${}".format(overdraft_account.balance))
overdraft_account.withdraw(17)
print("Overdraft account has ${}".format(overdraft_account.balance))
overdraft_account.accumulate_interest()
print("Overdraft account has ${}".format(overdraft_account.balance))

Sample Output:

Basic account has $600
Basic account has $583
Basic account has $594.66

Child's account has $34
Child's account has $17
Child's account has $27

Overdraft account has $12
Overdraft account has $-28
Overdraft account has $-28
