please help out, I'm frustrated...my code isn't producing the right output...I tried debugging and still the same, I just can't discover what's wrong..it's an assignment...thanks

You aren't assigning a value to amt when u initialise the ba object by calling the bankAccount function. Your function just displays a value without first assigning that value to your private variable amt

amt in the class definition is a private variable and you are confusing the call that passes the amt as an assignment to the private variable. It won't work. You need to change the variable name in the function call to something else (openingBal for example) and then in the body u assign amt=openingBal before your System.out.println

amt in the constructor is only in the scope of the constructor
Instead do

this.amt = amt;

in the constructor to assign the value of amt in the constructor to the global variable amt (the one outside). I still see other issues though but fix this one and see if you can figure the rest out.

thanks bro...its supposed to be openingBal=amt. it worked tho...all these constructor, accessor are confusing...I really appreciate.
