Requirement
The management of APU has completed the construction of a three story car park where students may park their cars. The car park can accommodate a total of 45 cars, where each level will have 15 parking spaces. In order to facilitate the management of the car park, and enable students to rent parking spaces, a system is needed to handle the registration of students for each available car park for each semester. A student, once registered may park his or her car at the car park for duration of 120 days. The system would be used by the parking administration office to register students who wishes to park at the car park. The users should be able to insert, update, delete, read the following information about the students, parking spaces as well as user details.
System Requirement
The system must require user to enter his or her ID and an assigned password before using the system. Upon login, the system shall display the user’s actual name on the system’s user interface.
The system must have the following functionalities:
- New Registration where students who wish to park their car at the car park is registered by the system. Once registered, a parking bay is assigned by the system depending on the availability of parking bays. If all the parking bays are already assigned, then the system shall indicate to the user its status.
- Cancel (Delete) a registration where a student who do not wish to park at the car park anymore. The parking bay occupied then will be released, and the student’s record will be deleted from the system.
- Update a student’s information such as Car Number, Contact Number and E-mail address. Other student’s information such as StudentID, FirstName and LastName should not be available for editing. To facilitate the update process, a Search for the student’s information using the StudentID will be required.
The applications can be developed using structure programming or object-oriented approach. Data may be stored in collections i.e. array of objects or into data files
