Savings Account

Current Account

The parent class contains the general information about an account and an abstract method to calculate
the yearly interest. For savings account, the interest rate is 10% and for current account the interest rate is
6%. All the data members of the Account class are initialized through a parameterized constructor. Your
program should be able to deposit and withdraw money from a saving account. Perform the same operation
on a current account. [E 8.5]
