#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdlib.h>
//using namespace std;
using namespace std;
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
int main()
{
struct record
{
char fname[15];
char lname[20];
int cage;
char acctype[1];
int nbalance;
};
struct record rec;
cout << "you will need to enter in some information, below is a table, fill it out to proceed\n";
cout << "first name: ";
cin >> rec.fname;
cout << "\nlast name: ";
cin >> rec.lname;
cout << "\nyour age: ";
