Class Assignment File Saving (LOOPS)

lisagimros (8)
Hi! I need help with saving data into a text file. What I did won't work and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I just need the results to save into a separate file that I have created in the project folder, after all of the calculations.

Also the loop must break if the balance is zero in any iteration and I don't think my program does that..

Can someone please help me with these two problems?

//If the balance is less than zero in any iteration, you must break your loop and send the information to the file along with a message.

The file saving part looks OK, are you sure its not working? You should add an extension to the filename though (accountresults.txt)

As for breaking out if the account balance is zero, you could add another condition in the for loop or add if (accountBalance <= 0) break; at the end of the loop
