Budget app

This budget management system allows users to create and manage different spending categories, make deposits and withdrawals, and visualize spending patterns through a spending chart.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/aymane66/budget-app.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd budget-app

3. Run the main script:

   python main.py

Usage

1. Open the main.py script to see an example of using the budget module.

2. Modify the script or create your own instances of the Category class to manage different spending categories.

3. Run the script to see the string representation of each category and the spending chart.

What I Learned

Through working on this budget management system app, I gained valuable experience and insights into several aspects of programming and software development:

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

• Class Design: I learned how to design and implement classes, such as the Category class, to model real-world entities.

• Instance Methods: Understanding how to define and use instance methods allowed me to create a clean and modular code structure.

Python Development

• List Comprehensions: Leveraging list comprehensions improved the readability and conciseness of my code, especially when calculating total expenses and percentages.

• String Formatting: Utilizing different string formatting techniques, such as f-strings, helped enhance the presentation of output in the string representation of categories.

This project provided a hands-on opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and enhance practical skills, ultimately contributing to my growth as a developer.
