[//]: # ()
A simple-interest yielding bank account in Leo.
## Summary
This program implements a bank that issues tokens to users and allows users to deposit tokens to accrue simple interest on their deposits.
### User Flow
1. The bank issues users tokens via the `issue` function.
2. A user deposits tokens via the `deposit` function.
3. Upon a user's request to withdraw, the bank calculates the appropriate amount of compound interest and pays the user the principal and interest via the `withdraw` function.
Note that the program can be easily extended to include additional features such as a `transfer` function, which would allow users to transfer tokens to other users.
## Bugs
You may have already guessed that this program has a few bugs. We list some of them below:
- `withdraw` can only be invoked by the bank. A malicious bank could lock users' tokens by not invoking `withdraw`.
- `withdraw` fails if the sum of the interest and principal is greater than the user's balance.
- Users can increase their principal by depositing tokens multiple times, including immediately before withdrawal.
- Integer division rounds down; if the calculated interest is too small, then it will be rounded down to zero.
Can you find any others?
## Language Features and Concepts
- `record` declarations
- `assert_eq`
- core functions, e.g. `BHP256::hash_to_field`
- record ownership
- loops and bounded iteration
- mappings
- finalize
## Running the Program
Leo provides users with a command line interface for compiling and running Leo programs.
### Configuring Accounts
The `.env` file contains a private key.
This is the account that will be used to sign transactions and is checked for record ownership.
When executing programs as different parties, be sure to set the `PRIVATE_KEY` field in `.env` to the appropriate values.
See `./run.sh` for an example of how to run the program as different parties.
The [Aleo SDK](https://github.com/AleoHQ/leo/tree/testnet3) provides an interface for generating new accounts.
To generate a new account, navigate to [aleo.tools](https://aleo.tools).
### Providing inputs via the command line.
```bash
leo run ...
```
See `./run.sh` for an example.
