## **Bank Requests**
_A solution to one of my coding interview questions. Complete solution - written in **GoLang**_
---
### Task:
You've been asked to program a bot for a popular bank that will automate the management of incoming requests. There are three types of requests the bank can receive:
>***transfer i j sum***: request to transfer sum amount of money from the ith account to the ***j-th*** one; deposit ***i*** sum: request to deposit sum amount of money in the ***i-th*** account, withdraw ***i*** sum: request to withdraw sum amount of money from the ***i-th*** account.
Your bot should also be able to process invalid requests. There are two types of invalid requests: invalid account number in the requests; deposit / withdrawal of a larger amount of money than is currently available.
For the given list of accounts and requests, return the state of accounts after all requests have been processed, or an array of a single element `[- ]` (please note the minus sign), where ****** is the **1-based** index of the first invalid request.
Example for `accounts = [10, 100, 20, 50, 30]` and `requests = ["withdraw 2 10", "transfer 5 1 20", "deposit 5 20", "transfer 3 4 15"]`, the output should be `bankRequests(accounts, requests) = [30, 90, 5, 65, 30]`.
Here are the states of accounts after each request:
* `"withdraw 2 10": [10, 90, 20, 50, 30]`
* `"transfer 5 1 20": [30, 90, 20, 50, 10]`
* `"deposit 5 20": [30, 90, 20, 50, 30]`
* `"transfer 3 4 15": [30, 90, 5, 65, 30],` which is the answer
For `accounts = [20, 1000, 500, 40, 90]` and `requests = ["deposit 3 400", "transfer 1 2 30", "withdraw 4 50"]`, the output should be `bankRequests(accounts, requests) = [-2]`.
After the first request, accounts becomes equal to `[20, 1000, 900, 40, 90]`, but the second one turns it into `[-10, 1030, 900, 40, 90]`, which is invalid. Thus, the second request is invalid, and the answer is `[-2]`. Note that the last request is also invalid, but it shouldn't be included in the answer.
