    When I run my code, I am getting a nullpointer exception error at the points indicated. My suspicions are the getAccount(long accNum) method that I am using to return an Account is returning a null value. It appears to me that the while loop is finishing before it gets to smaller values such as 0,1,2,3. Please help me rectify this problem. Everything I have tried so far has failed. (urgent)
