Budget Project

Inspiration

I was inspired to write this application through the experience I have in my CSC 145 programming fundamentals course.

What it does

This software application allows the user to input their income for the month as well as how much they spent on 20 different common expenses, and computers the amount of money they have leftover, the amount of money they overspent, or alerts them that they have spent the exact amount of money they have made for the month.

How we built it

I built this application using the java programming language in conjunction with the scanner object as well as the math class in order to allow the user to input data and perform mathematical operations on given input.

Challenges we ran into

I ran into the challenge of taking the absolute value of the different between the monthly income and total expenses to print the amount overspent to screen in case of monthly overspending. I was able to succeed in doing so by importing the static math class in the initial lines of the program.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of creating an application that can be utilized by common users in the command prompt for their daily expenses.

What we learned

I learned the 20 most common expenses one faces in a monthly budget in the writing of this software application.

What's next for Budget Project

The next stages for this application would be to determine additional expenses and other factors that may play a role in one's monthly budget within the code of this software application.
