Implemented Enhancements

• New Feature: Net Balance
  • Added the functionality to calculate and show net balance based on the total existing allowance and expense transactions.
• New Feature: Budget Feature
  • Added the functionality to set a budget. Once the budget is set, it helps to reflect whether the total expenses are within or exceeding the budget set.
• New Feature: Persistent Storage for Budget
  • Reading and writing of the budget amount to the budget.txt file. It ensures that the budget is persistently stored and can be retrieved when needed.
• Enhancement to Existing Feature: Update transaction amount to use float value
  • To use positive float values for allowance and expense transaction amount instead of integers. Added exceptions to further ensure this is followed.
• Bugfix: Incorrect transactionList count
  • Fixed the bug where count is not accounted for properly and incremented when transactions are initialized from the nuscents.txt file.
  • Refer to GitHub issue #111.
• Bugfix: Arbitrary float values that cause unexpected response
  • Added a check to the parseAllowance(), parseExpense() and parseBudget() methods in Parser.java to ensure that the following conditions are met for the user entered amount. The allowance, expense and budget amount is positive, less than 100000, and has at most two decimal places. This ensures that arbitrary large or small float amounts are rejected and not used.
  • Refer to GitHub issues #88, #94, #101, #107, #113, #119, #121.
