Take a look at the ATM algorithm which is listed as example 2.3, page 48 of your Schaum's textbook.  Your tasks:

1. Determine what the bank manager's requirements are.  What led to this algorithm? For example, one requirement is:  A customer (user) must identify him/herself with a password. What are the other requirements for these limited features?
   
   
2. There is a major flaw in the algorithm.  What is it and how would you change the pseudocode to reflect a more correct algorithm?  On your paper, write the complete algorithm, with the correction.
