Please answer correctly from the course 'Programming for Engineers' from petroleum engineering major: Car Park

Introduction

Car parks provide convenient solutions for leaving your car during work or shopping. Recently new

technologies have been used to control almost all operations within a car park. From ticketing, billing

to automatically locating a free spot or pre$-$book it through the internet. Currently, the majority of parks

include some of these technologies, post popular of which are automatic ticketing and billing, keeping

track of the number of cars passed through the park and announcing number of free parking spaces at

the entrance of the park.

Objectives

You are asked to design the

software that controls a car park

using C language. Your program

should have a basic user interface

displayed on the screen of the

computer and should accept

command from the keyboard. The

software should be able to run

standalone and its usage must be

self$-$explanatory. The program must

provide both a displaying mode for

providing information and an

administrator mode getting the

reports on the number of cars

passed through the park in a period as well as the amount of money collected.

Specifications

The program should at least meet the following specifications:

$$ Have two modes of operation: a displaying mode $($DM$)$ and an administrator mode $($AM$).$ The

switch between the two modes should be protected i$.$e$.,$ not any user cannot enter the AM unless

e$.$g$.$ knows a hidden option in the menu or gives the correct password.

$$ Emulate the days of a week$/$month through a manual input $($user from menu indicates the pass

of a day, a month has $30$ days.$)$

$($DM$)$ Provides a simple menu where the traffic related to the car park is given as input, i$.$e$.,$ a car

entering the park, a car leaving the park, end of a day etc.

$($DM$)$ Displays the number of free spaces in the car park. The number of total places in the car

park is set to $200.$ When a car attempts to enter the park and there are no free spaces the program

displays an appropriate message.

$($DM$)$ Displays the parking fee. The car park has a different fee for weekdays $(2\mathrm{.}5$ per day$)$ and

weekends $(1\mathrm{.}75$ per day$).$ When the program starts the current day is Monday.

$($AM$)$ Report the number of cars passed through the car park for the current day, i$.$e$.,$ the number

of cars currently in the park plus the number of cars passed from the beginning of the day.

$($AM$)$ Report the number of cars passed through the car park for the current month. All months

have exactly $30$ days.

$($AM$)$ Report the amount collected for the current day. The owner of the car pays when he leaves

the park. If the car remains in the park for more than one days the total amount to be payed is

calculated accordingly.

$($AM$)$ Report the amount collected for the current month.

$($AM$)$ Allow the administrator to change the parking fees.

$($AM$)$ Provide a menu to the administrator so it can perform all the above operations.
