2043. Simple Bank System

2043. Simple Bank System

Difficulty: Medium

Topics: Array, Hash Table, Design, Simulation, Weekly Contest 263

You have been tasked with writing a program for a popular bank that will automate all its incoming transactions (transfer, deposit, and withdraw). The bank has n accounts numbered from 1 to n. The initial balance of each account is stored in a 0-indexed integer array balance, with the (i + 1)ᵗʰ account having an initial balance of balance[i].

Execute all the valid transactions. A transaction is valid if:

  • The given account number(s) are between 1 and n, and
  • The amount of money withdrawn or transferred from is less than or equal to the balance of the account.

Implement the Bank class:

  • Bank(long[] balance) Initializes the object with the 0-indexed integer array balance.
  • boolean transfer(int account1, int account2, long money) Transfers money dollars from the account numbered account1 to the account numbered account2. Return true if the transaction was successful, false otherwise.
  • boolean deposit(int account, long money) Deposit money dollars into the account numbered account. Return true if the transaction was successful, false otherwise.
  • boolean withdraw(int account, long money) Withdraw money dollars from the account numbered account. Return true if the transaction was successful, false otherwise.

Example 1:

  • Input:
 ["Bank", "withdraw", "transfer", "deposit", "transfer", "withdraw"] [[[10, 100, 20, 50, 30]], [3, 10], [5, 1, 20], [5, 20], [3, 4, 15], [10, 50]] 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Output: [null, true, true, true, false, false]
  • Explanation:
 Bank bank = new Bank([10, 100, 20, 50, 30]); bank.withdraw(3, 10); // return true, account 3 has a balance of $20, so it is valid to withdraw $10. // Account 3 has $20 - $10 = $10. bank.transfer(5, 1, 20); // return true, account 5 has a balance of $30, so it is valid to transfer $20. // Account 5 has $30 - $20 = $10, and account 1 has $10 + $20 = $30. bank.deposit(5, 20); // return true, it is valid to deposit $20 to account 5. // Account 5 has $10 + $20 = $30. bank.transfer(3, 4, 15); // return false, the current balance of account 3 is $10, // so it is invalid to transfer $15 from it. bank.withdraw(10, 50); // return false, it is invalid because account 10 does not exist. 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Constraints:

  • n == balance.length
  • 1 <= n, account, account1, account2 <= 10⁵
  • 0 <= balance[i], money <= 10¹²
  • At most 10⁴ calls will be made to each function transfer, deposit, withdraw.

Hint:

  1. How do you determine if a transaction will fail?
  2. Simply apply the operations if the transaction is valid.

Solution:

We need to design a banking system that handles three operations: transfer, deposit, and withdraw, with proper validation.

Approach:

  • Store account balances in an array with 1-based indexing (account 1 is at index 0)
  • For each operation, validate account numbers and sufficient funds
  • Use basic arithmetic operations to update balances

Let's implement this solution in PHP: 2043. Simple Bank System

<?php class Bank { private array $accounts; private int $totalAccounts; /** * @param Integer[] $balance */ function __construct($balance) { $this->accounts = $balance; $this->totalAccounts = count($balance); } /** * @param Integer $account1 * @param Integer $account2 * @param Integer $money * @return Boolean */ function transfer($account1, $account2, $money) { ... ... ... /** * go to ./solution.php */ } /** * @param Integer $account * @param Integer $money * @return Boolean */ function deposit($account, $money) { ... ... ... /** * go to ./solution.php */ } /** * @param Integer $account * @param Integer $money * @return Boolean */ function withdraw($account, $money) { ... ... ... /** * go to ./solution.php */ } /** * Check if account number is valid (between 1 and totalAccounts) * * @param int $account * @return bool */ private function isValidAccount(int $account): bool { ... ... ... /** * go to ./solution.php */ } /** * Debug: Get current balances (for testing/demo purposes). * * @return array */ public function getBalances(): array { ... ... ... /** * go to ./solution.php */ } } // Test cases $bank = new Bank([10, 100, 20, 50, 30]); echo json_encode([ $bank->withdraw(3, 10), // true $bank->transfer(5, 1, 20), // true $bank->deposit(5, 20), // true $bank->transfer(3, 4, 15), // false $bank->withdraw(10, 50) // false ]) . PHP_EOL; // Optional: show final balances print_r($bank->getBalances()); ?>

Explanation:

  1. Constructor: Initializes the bank with account balances and stores the total number of accounts.

  2. Transfer:

    • Validates both source and destination accounts exist
    • Checks if source account has sufficient funds
    • Transfers money by subtracting from source and adding to destination
  3. Deposit:

    • Validates the account exists
    • Adds money to the specified account
  4. Withdraw:

    • Validates the account exists
    • Checks if account has sufficient funds
    • Subtracts money from the account
  5. Helper method: isValidAccount() checks if an account number is within the valid range (1 to n).

Key Points:

  • Uses 1-based indexing for accounts (account 1 is at index 0)
  • All operations return boolean indicating success/failure
  • Proper validation prevents invalid transactions
  • Time complexity: O(1) for all operations
  • Space complexity: O(n) where n is the number of accounts
