Project Overview

The ATM Simulator is a Python-based application that emulates a basic ATM interface. It allows users to perform common banking operations, including checking their account balance, making withdrawals, and depositing funds.

Features

• User authentication using a card number and PIN.
• Account balance inquiry.
• Cash withdrawal and deposit options.
• Real-time updates to the available balance.
• User-friendly command-line interface.

Setup

Prerequisites

Before running the ATM Simulator, ensure you have the following components installed:

• Python 3.x
• MySQL (or another database of your choice)

Database Setup

1. Create a MySQL Database:

   Create a new MySQL database named atmTransaction using your preferred MySQL management tool or the command line:

   CREATE DATABASE atmTransaction;
   

2. Use the Database:

   Switch to the newly created database:

   USE atmTransaction;
   

3. Create the accountHolder Table:

   Define the table structure for storing account holder information, including card numbers, PINs, and available balances:

   CREATE TABLE accountHolder (
    cardNo INT PRIMARY KEY,
    cardPin INT NOT NULL,
    availBalance DECIMAL(10, 2) DEFAULT 0.0
   );
   

4. Add Sample Account Holder Data

   You can add sample account holder data to the accountHolder table to get started. Here's an example:

   -- Insert sample account holder data
   INSERT INTO accountHolder (cardNo, cardPin, availBalance)
   VALUES
      (1234567890123456, 1234, 1000.00),
      (2345678901234567, 5678, 500.50),
      (3456789012345678, 9876, 250.75);
   

Running the ATM Simulator

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/prathmeshborate/AtmSimulator.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:
