A Lightweight Java Console Application to Simulate Bank Transactions with Account Logic

This article presents the design and implementation of a lightweight Java console application that simulates basic bank transactions using fundamental account management logic.The project serves as a pedagogical tool to demonstrate object-oriented programming concepts in a real-world banking context.The system enables users to create accounts, deposit and withdraw funds, check balances, and review simple transaction outcomes through a text-based menu interface.Emphasis is placed on clarity, simplicity, and educational value, making it accessible to high school researchers and beginner programmers.The article outlines the limitations of existing solutions for teaching banking concepts, the proposed system's architecture and features, and implementation details, including class design and control flow.Results from sample runs are discussed to validate the correctness of the account logic and transaction handling.The advantages of the console-based approach, such as ease of use, low resource requirements, and focus on core logic, are highlighted.The article concludes with potential enhancements and the educational impact of engaging students in simulation development for computer science learning.
