How can I get the balance of my account with smart contracts in cdt 1.6

Question

All previous answers before used some function called get_balance, but there is none listed like that in the api https://eosio.github.io/eosio.cdt/1.6.0/functions.html.

You need to access the accounts table of the appropriate token contract, in the scope of the token that you want to check the balance for:

struct accounts
{
  eosio::asset balance;
  uint64_t primary_key() const {return balance.symbol.code().raw();}
};
typedef eosio::multi_index< eosio::name("accounts"), accounts > accounts_table;

accounts_table tmp(eosio::name("TOKEN_CONTRACT"), eosio::name("ACCOUNT_NAME").value);
eosio::symbol TOKEN_SYMBOL = whatever the token symbol is;
auto itr = tmp.find(TOKEN_SYMBOL.code().raw());
eosio::check(itr != tmp.end(), "The token doesn't exist in the token contract, or the account doesn't own any of these tokens");
auto balance = itr->balance;
eosio::print("My balance is ",balance);

Where TOKEN_CONTRACT, ACCOUNT_NAME, and TOKEN_SYMBOL must be known parameters
