[m-users.] Trying to create a simple bank account monitoring system with IO

[Dirk Ziegemeyer]

Hi Zeldangit,

how do you want to store your database with bank accounts?

You could use a text file with Mercury terms and then read this text file with io.read.

Your text file would have this content:
account(bar, 1, 123.45).
account(foo, 2, 5678.90).
…

The target data structure might be a map with account number as key.

You can then search the map by providing the account number.

Dirk

Right now I am stuck on the most simple IO stuff. In particular, I know I should be using a 'maybe' but I am unsure of how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated.
