Write and test a program or programs to arrange meeting room bookings:

Your program or programs must include appropriate prompts for the entry of data. Data must be

validated on entry.

All outputs, including error messages, need to be set out clearly and understandably.

All variables, constants and other identifiers must have meaningful names.

You will need to complete these three tasks. Each task must be fully tested.

Task $1-$ setting up a booking system structure for the meeting rooms

Set up suitable data structures for each of the three meeting rooms to store:

when it is booked during a fixed eight$-$week period

the client's name $($the person making the booking$)$

a unique booking code

the cost of the booking.

Task $2-$ booking a meeting room

Extend the program in Task $1$ to enable bookings to be made so that the client enters their name,

the meeting room required and the day of the booking. After the data has been entered, the program

should check if the requested day is available for the required meeting room and if not, the client

should be allowed to enter an alternative day or exit the program.

If the requested day is available, the booking details and cost of the booking should be output for

the client to confirm. Once confirmed, a unique booking code should be generated and stored in

both the appropriate meeting room data structure and the unique booking code data structure. The

client's name and cost of the booking should be stored in the appropriate data structures set up in

Task $1.$

Bookings of more than one day must be entered as separate single day bookings.

Task $3-$ using the booking data

Extend the program in Task $1$ and Task $2$ to make use of the data that is available, to:

select a meeting room and output the days when it is free

total and output the amount of money currently taken for all three meeting rooms

check the bookings for a specific client. Here is a copy of the pre$-$release material.

DO NOT attempt Tasks $1,2$ and $3$ now.

Use the pre$-$release material and your experience from attempting the following tasks before the

examination to answer Question $1.$
