Question
hello could you help me in developing my program in C language ? here are the things needed:
Bank Account Problem

1. Create a bank account for a maximum of 10 persons.
2. Each account has these information
  a. Name
  b. Account number
  c. Balance
  d. Address
3. Allow each user to
  a. Deposit
  b. Withdraw
  c. Check balance
4. Create a receipt of all the transactions

I'm not asking you to make the program, i just want you to help me like give the structure or format that i can follow and and some hints to make it easier for me because i just recently started making programs and i don't know where to start. in fact I'm already confused with it and i badly need help because this program is required in one of my subjects. thanks in advance

Answer
1. define a struct bank_account to hold the information about an account in one place.

2. create an array of bank_account of size 10

3. define an int to keep track of the number of accounts.

4. in a loop,
     display a menu and accept user choice.
     if 'Q' quit, we're done
     if 'C' create account:
         if number of accounts is 10,
           print an error message
           back to beginning of loop
         else
           accept account information from the user
           set the values in the appropriate account in the array.
           increment number of accounts  
           back to beginning of loop
     if 'D' deposit
           get account number from user
           locate account with this number in array.
           if not found, print an error message
           else, get positive amount, process request, print receipt
           back to beginning of loop
     ...
     and so on for other requests
