COIT 20245: Java Console Program - Rocky’s Car Parking System - IT Assessment Answers

Objectives This assessment item relates to the course learning outcomes as in the Course Profile. Details For this assignment, you are required to develop a Java Console Program to demonstrate you can use Java constructs including input/output via a command line, Java primitive and built-in data types, Java defined objects, selection and looping statements, methods, and various other Java commands. Your program must produce the correct results. You are only allowed to use techniques which have been covered in the first six weeks of the course, you must use the Scanner object for input and no advanced data structures like arrays will be used. Instructions for this appear in the implementation section of this specification. What to submit for this assignment The Java source code: CarPark.java A report including a flow chart (UML activity diagram) to depict your validation loop for reading the hours, how long it took to create, any problems encountered and screen shots of the output produced. (Use Alt-PrtScrn to capture just the console window and you can paste it into your Word document) You should test every possibility in the program. ReportAss1.docx You will submit your files by the due date using the “Assignment 1” link on the Moodle course website in the Assessment Block or in the relevant week. Assignment specification The Rocky car park management has asked you to write a program to help employees determine the fees for cars using their car park and to also produce some statistics You are to write a Java Console Application (CarPark.java) which will allow employees to enter the details of N cars’ licence plate and the number of hours spent at the Rocky car park. N should be equal to the highest digit in your student ID, use N=3 if your highest digit is less than three. For each car the program will prompt for and accept the licence plate number of the car and the length of stay at the car park (in whole hours), it will then display the total cost of parking (see sample output below for formatting details).

• The pricing structure for parking is (maximum twelve hours):
• The first hour will cost $7.50. The next three hours will cost $4.50 per hour.
• The next four hours will cost $3.50 per hour.
• The remaining hours will cost $2.50 per hour.

When all cars’ licence plate numbers and hours stayed have been entered you need to report the maximum and minimum stay (in hours) and the relevant licence plate numbers, the average stay and the total parking fees which have been collected. The required Java Console Application should allow the user to:

1. For each of the N cars: enter the Licence plate number, and then enter the Length of stay in whole hours. The program will output the fee for the car’s stay. All dollar values will be formatted to two decimal places (see implementation below with help for doing this).
2. You must ensure the licence plate is not blank so you must implement a validation loop so a valid licence plate number is entered. The number of hours must be between 1 and 12 inclusive and you will also need to implement a validation loop so valid hours are entered.The program will number each car in the input prompt.
3. When N cars have been entered, you will output a heading for the statistics “Statisticalinformation for the Rocky car park”, the minimum and maximum stays (in hours) and the licence plate number of the cars with these minimums and maximums, and then what the average stay is in hours (formatted to two decimal places) (see sample output below). Note: if more than one car has an equal maximum or minimum stay you just need to only output one of the car’s licence plate number .
4. Display a welcome message at the beginning “Welcome to the Rocky car park system” and an end message e.g. “Thank you for using the Rocky car park system” and the final line “Program written by <your student ID>” (see sample output below)

Rocky’s Car Parking System Flow chart for Car Parking System: Screen Shots of Testing: Given all correct inputs Prompting the correct inputs of license plate number and Number of hours stay for Car1: Prompting the correct inputs of license plate number and Number of hours stay for Car2: Prompting the correct inputs of license plate number and Number of hours stay for Car3: Checking Maximum and minimum number of hours stay Checking for maximum and minimum number of stay Checking for maximum and minimum number of stay Work around: It took a week around to develop the coding with the help of topics covered in the first six weeks of course. All the materials has been referred and code is implemented on the course basis. Problem encountered: With the Decimal formatting. It has been resolved and string format is used in the code in order to display the real values with two decimal points
