accounting-ledger-application's Issues

created README

Added a REAME file to the repository and also added more menu options to the CLI.

Added home screen & Scanner

This pull request adds a home screen and integrates a Scanner for user input in our application. With the addition of the Scanner, users can now interact with the application through the command line interface (CLI), enabling them to input data and make selections seamlessly.

Home screen variables fixed

Users can interact with the menu by inputting the corresponding characters to perform various ledger operations. Additionally, the code includes error handling to deal with invalid user input and gracefully exit the application when necessary. This enhancement improves the user experience and provides a foundation for further development of the ledger application's functionality.

Added Transactions.csv and FileReader for Storing and Retrieving User Input

This includes the addition of a Transactions.csv file and a FileReader mechanism to store and retrieve user input. With these improvements, users can now input transaction details, which are stored in the CSV file. Additionally, users have the capability to view previous records.
