Chapter 14, Problem 14PC

Parking Ticket Simulator

For this assignment, you will design a set of classes that work together to simulate a police officer issuing a parking ticket. The classes you should design are:

• The ParkedCar Class: This class should simulate a parked car. The class’s responsibilities are:

- To know the car’s make, model, color, license number, and the number of minutes that the car has been parked

• The Parkingfleter Class: This class should simulate a parking meter. The class’s only responsibility is:

- To know the number of minutes of parking time that has been purchased

• The ParkingTicket Class: This class should simulate a parking ticket. The class’s responsibilities are:

- To report the make, model, color, and license number of the illegally parked car

- To report the amount of the fine, which is $25 for the first hour or part of an hour that the car is illegally parked, plus $10 for every additional hour or part of an hour that the car is illegally parked

- To report the name and badge number of the police officer issuing the ticket

• The PoliceOfficer Class: This class should simulate a police officer inspecting parked cars. The class’s responsibilities are:

- To know the police officer’s name and badge number

- To examine a ParkedCar object and a ParkingMeter object, and determine whether the car’s time has expired

- To issue a parking ticket (generate a ParkingTicket object) if the car’s time has expired

Write a program that demonstrates how these classes collaborate.
