How to use 'fout' with inheritance - c++

Question

I'm taking a class in C++ and I've run into a problem. We have to create a list of bankaccounts that each have their own savings and checking account. I've come quite far, but now I have to use "ofstream& fout" to print the checking and savings of an imaginairy account.
My header file of "Account.h" looks like this (I think it's correct):
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <fstream>
#ifndef ACCOUNT_H
#define ACCOUNT_H
using namespace std;
class Account{
protected:
string number;
double balance;
public:
Account(){}
Account(string nr, double bl);
void deposit(double am);
string get_number();
double get_balance();
double withdraw(double am);
bool equals(Account other);
virtual void print();
void println();
void println(string s);
virtual void println(ofstream& fout);
virtual void read(ifstream& fin);
};
#endif
My definition file is where it all goes horribly wrong with the fstream part:
#include "Account.h"
Account::Account(string nr, double bl){
if (bl >= 0){
number = nr;
balance = bl;
}
else{
number = "incorrect";
}
}
void Account::deposit(double am){
if (am >= 0){
balance = balance + am;
}
}
string Account::get_number(){
return number;
}
double Account::get_balance(){
return balance;
}
double Account::withdraw(double am){
if (0 <= am && am <= get_balance()){
balance = balance - am;
return am;
}
else{
return 0;
}
}
bool Account::equals(Account other){
if (number == other.get_number()){
return true;
}
return false;
}
void Account::print(){
cout << "<Account(" << number << ",";
cout << balance << ")>" ;
}
void Account::println(){
print();
cout << endl;
}
void Account::println(string s){
cout << s;
println();
}
void Account::println(ofstream& fout){
fout << number << ",";
fout << balance;
fout << endl;
}
void Account::read(ifstream& fin){
fin >> number;
}
There is something wrong with the declaration of void Account::println(ofstream& fout). It gives me the output
<Account(number,balance,0)>
instead of
<Account(number,balance)>
Why does this happen? I have many more problems with the printing of the savings and checking numbers, but i feel if I understand why this is happening I can solve those. Thank you to anyone who wants to help me.

Answer 1

Account::println(ofstream&) will print "", but since the balance is a double, it prints with a decimal place:
if balance == 0.0, it will be printed as eiter 0.0 or 0,0, depending on your locale.
Either way, you have way too many print methods, and I think the solution should be implemented through an output operator:
Header:
class Account {
// ....
// no print methods defined
};
std::ostream& operator <<(std::ostream& out, const Account& a);
Source:
std::ostream& operator <<(std::ostream& out, const Account& a)
{
return out << "";
}
Client code:
#include <iostream> // console
#include <fstream> // file
Account a;
// print to console
std::cout << a << std::endl;
// print to file
std::ofstream fout("./account.txt");
fout << a << std::endl;
