Algorithm Implementation
1. Binary Search Algorithm
Purpose: To locate an account based on the card number.
Description: This algorithm is used for efficient account lookup in a sorted
list of accounts. By dividing the list into halves, Binary Search reduces the
time complexity to O(log n), ensuring fast account retrieval.
2. Insertion Sort (using [Link])
Purpose: To maintain a sorted list of accounts.
Description: The [Link]() method inserts new accounts in the correct
position in the sorted list. This ensures that accounts are always arranged in
ascending order by card number.
3. Queue (using deque)
Purpose: To store the last 5 transactions of each account.
Description: The deque data structure is used to store transaction history with
a maximum size of 5. When a new transaction is added, the oldest transaction is
automatically removed, ensuring that the most recent transactions are always
accessible.
4. String Matching Algorithm
Purpose: To validate user inputs such as PINs.
Description: Basic string comparison is used to ensure that the entered current
PIN is correct, the new PIN meets the length requirements, and the new and
confirmed PINs match.
Future Scope and Enhancements
Mobile Integration
Develop a mobile app for seamless ATM access through
smartphones and tablets.
Multi-Currency Support
Expand functionality to handle transactions in various currencies
for global accessibility.
Advanced Security
Implement two-factor authentication and biometrics for enhanced
security.
Bill Payment
Integrate bill payment functionality for users to pay bills directly
through the simulator.
Conclusion
This online ATM simulator project demonstrates the practical
application of DSA principles in a real-world scenario. The simulator
offers a functional and user-friendly platform for simulating ATM
transactions, with potential for future enhancements and
advancements. The project serves as a valuable learning
experience in software development and a foundation for future
explorations in the field of financial technology.
