ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I feel immense pleasure and pride in presenting this Computer Project titled
“Electricity Bill Calculator + Reminder System”
as a part of my academic curriculum for the academic year 2024–25.
This project has been a great learning experience for me and has helped me to understand
the practical implementation of Java programming concepts in solving real-life problems. I
am grateful to my school, [Your School Name], for providing me with the necessary
resources and a learning environment that helped me complete this project successfully.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to my respected Computer teacher,
[Teacher’s Full Name], for their constant support, guidance, and encouragement throughout
the project. Their valuable suggestions and feedback helped me to enhance the quality and
structure of my work.
I also take this opportunity to thank my parents, who have been a constant source of
motivation and inspiration for me. They supported me at every step with their patience and
love.
Lastly, I would like to thank all my friends and classmates who encouraged and helped me
directly or indirectly during the course of this project.
This project has not only improved my programming skills but has also taught me the
importance of deadlines, teamwork, and creative thinking.
– [Your Name]
