pass a variable from one object to another

[kev670]

each customer is an object. there are 3 classes. the main class, a current account class and an abstract account. i want one customer to be able to transfer money to another but have no idea how. when i withdraw from one customer can i then automatically deposit to another customer that amount. in other words can i reference the other object from within the current account class. The transfer method is at the very end. Any help would be great thatnks.

The 3 classes are below:

main

class BankAccountTester
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        CurrentAccount acc1 = new CurrentAccount("Ann Smith", 300);
        CurrentAccount acc2 = new CurrentAccount("Ben Murphy");
     
        acc1.deposit(7550);
        acc2.deposit(200);
        
        acc1.transfer
    }
}

current account

public class CurrentAccount extends Account
{
    private int accountNo;
    private static int accNo;

    public CurrentAccount(String name)
    {
        super(name);
    }
    
    public CurrentAccount(String name, double number)
    {
       super(name, number);
    }
    
    public int accNo()
    {
        return accNo;
    }
    
    public void deposit(double deposit)
    {
        double b;
        b = deposit + super.getCurrentBal();
        super.setCurrentBal(b);
        System.out.println("********" + getCurrentBal());
    }
    
    public void withdraw(double withdraw)
    {
        double b;
        b = super.getCurrentBal() - withdraw;
        super.setCurrentBal(b);
        System.out.println("********" + getCurrentBal());
    }
    
    public void transfer(double number)
    {
      
    }
}

In addition to "double number" in your parameters for transfer(), you will want to pass another CurrentAccount object. Then, you can do something like, this.widthdraw(number); and otherAccount.deposit(number);. Then you could call it from your main like acc1.transfer(500,acc2);.

I tried adding the following to the transfer method but it wouldn't compile for me. its giving me an error: "cannot find symbol - method deposit(double)"

    
public void transfer(double number, Account acc)
{
     withdraw(number);
     acc.deposit(number);      
}

Well, the obvious question for most of us here is... does the class Account have a method deposit(double)? Only you know since you have the code for this class; we don't.
