The Accounting Ledger App is a simple Java program that simulates an accounting ledger. It allows the user to add deposits, make payments, view the ledger, and exit the program. Transactions are stored in a CSV file named "transactions.csv" and loaded into a HashMap when the program starts.
To run this application, you'll need to have Java installed on your computer. You can download the latest version of Java here.
Once you have Java installed, open the IntellJ IDE. Then navigate to the main.java file and press run.
This code is interesting because it demonstrates the use of the ternary operator ? in Java to provide a concise way of writing conditional statements. The ternary operator allows for a shorthand way of writing if-else statements, and in this case, it is used to determine whether a deposit or payment has been made and print a success message. Moreover, the use of different text colors for success messages can help to make the output more visually appealing and easier to read.
// success message in blue System.out.println(type.equals("deposit") ? ColorCodes.PURPLE + "Deposit made" + ColorCodes.RESET : ColorCodes.PURPLE + "Payment made" + ColorCodes.RESET);

Entry Table (Sample)
Upon running the application, the user is presented with a menu screen containing four options:
- 'D' - Add Deposit: This option allows the user to add a new deposit entry to the ledger. A deposit represents an inflow of money into the account.
- 'P' - Make Payment (Debit): This option allows the user to make a new payment (debit) entry in the ledger. A payment represents an outflow of money from the account.
- 'L' - Ledger: This option displays all the entries in the ledger, including deposits and payments.
- 'X' - Exit: This option allows the user to exit the application.
To select an option, the user is prompted to enter a command by typing the corresponding letter. Once a valid command is entered, the application performs the selected action and returns to the menu screen.
Making a transaction (deposit/payment) allows the user to add a deposit/payment to the accounting ledger. The user is prompted to enter the deposit/payment amount, description, and vendor for the transaction. Once entered, the deposit is added to the ledger and the user is returned to the main menu
The Ledger Screen displays a menu of options for managing the accounting ledger. The available commands include displaying all ledger entries, displaying only deposit or payment entries, generating a report, or returning to the home screen. Users can select the desired command by entering the corresponding letter on the keyboard.
The Report Screen is where the user can generate financial reports. It presents a numbered list of options to select from to create a report based on the user's choice. The options include generating reports for different time periods like the month-to-date, previous month, year-to-date, or previous year. The user can also choose to generate a report for a specific vendor, perform a custom search, or return to the home screen.
