Usecase/Example

Scenario: Customer ID Validation in a Banking Application

In a banking application, each customer has a unique Customer ID that is generated when they open an account. The Customer ID might include a prefix indicating the type of account, followed by a sequence of numbers. For validation and processing, you may need to extract the prefix (the first few characters) to determine the account type.

Input: The application generates Customer IDs such as:

• SAV-123456

• CHK-789012

• FIX-345678

Expected result: It needs to verify that the Customer ID starts with the correct prefix indicating the account type (e.g., SAV for savings, CHK for checking, and FIX for fixed deposits).

Output: The output is stored in the {result} output variable as SAV, which can be utilized for display or other purposes.
