Think of three data items that will be part of the state of a checking account.

The following seem reasonable to me. You might have thought of others.

• Account number.

Next, think about what actions will be performed on a checking account. That is, what behavior will a checking account have?

QUESTION 3:

Think of three behaviors a checking account should have.
