Hi, I wanted to created a java file base on the given javadoc below. I am currently stuck on the embezzle method. First, i don't understand what's the "BankAccount" in 'public void embezzle(BankAccount other)' do or is. Second, How can i add funds from the other account to the other account? Do i need to created a second bankaccount within the same class to achieve this? Please help...Any comments on it would be greatly appreciated.

what's the "BankAccount" in 'public void embezzle(BankAccount other)'

'BankAccount' is the type of the arg passed to the method. To call the method, you must use a variable that refers to a BankAccount object.

Second, How can i add funds from the other account to the other account?

To move funds from one account to another: you need to do a withdrawal from the source account and an addFunds to the target account.
