C++ Code:

Your task is to write a program that simulates a parking meter within the parking deck. The program will start by reading in the time a car arrives in the parking deck. Next it will read in the time the car left the parking deck. You should then calculate the time that has passed between issuing the time ticket and the time the car left. Lastly, you will use this information to determine how much the person needs to pay upon leaving the deck. The rates are in the table below. Please read through all of the notes below!

You should write a single function for each of the following things:

Reading in the arrival times and departure times from a file

Calculate the passage of time

Determine how much the driver needs to pay

Print out the receipt for the driver, including his arrival and departure times, time in the deck, and how much he owes. Be sure to include the exceptions of a Lost Ticket, Lost Ticket, and Error (over 12 hour stay).

Notes:

Time should be handled in the 24 hour format for simplicity. In addition, you should have the user input the hours, then input the minutes as two separate variables. Please have the user enter hours ranging from 0 to 23, and minutes ranging from 0 to 59.

You may assume that the parking deck is open 24/7 for simplicity. You do not need to worry about times the deck closes for this project.

If the driver has a special parking pass, the program will read in the time of 99 for the hour and 99 for the minutes when entering the deck. This should be used as a code for the system to know that this person has a special parking pass.

If the drive has lost their ticket, the program will enter the input of 55 for the hour and 55 for the minutes when exiting the deck. This will prompt the system to handle the payments without a ticketing stub.

Please make sure that the output is attractive and informative. It should include, but is not limited to: the time the ticket was issued the time the ticket was entered back into the machine (time the driver exited the deck.) You should also include the amount of time that transpired while the driver was in the deck and the amount of money the driver has to pay. Please use proper formatting techniques for output (fixed and set precision, remember we are talking about money.) Use the output format given below in Running.

Rate Table:

Time in Parking Deck	Rate in Dollars ($)
Less than or equal to 30 minutes	3.00
30 Minutes <= 1 Hour	5.00
1 Hour <= 2 Hours )	10.00
2 Hours <= 3 Hours )	15.00
3 Hours <= 4 Hours )	30.00
Each half hour over four hours and <= 12 hrs	30.00 + 5.00 per additional half hour or part thereof
12 Hours < 24 Hours )	Error prints out, see notes above.
Lost ticket	110.00
Special Parking Pass	5.00
