• deposit at /deposit : Take the deposit amount as a URL parameter and return the new balance after adding the amount.
• withdraw at /withdraw : Take the withdrawal amount as a URL parameter and return the new balance after subtracting the amount. App relies on a global in-memory variable (balance) to store the balance of the account.
