You are going to write a program called BankApp to simulate a banking application. The information needed for this project is stored in a text file. These are: usernames, passwords, and balances. Your program should read the username, password, and balance for each customer and store them into three lists: userName (string), passWord (string), balances (float). The text file with the information is provided as UserInformation.txt. Example: This will demonstrate if the file only contains information for 3 customers. You could add more users into the file. userName passWord Balance ======================== Mike sorat1237# 350 Jane para432@4 400 Steve asora8731% 500
