Parking Garage Assignment

For this assignment we will be creating a Parking Garage Class and Car class. Your program will track cars parked in the parking garage.

Requirements

Your program should implement a Car class, a ParkingGarage class, and a GarageManager class.

The Car Class

1. Your implementation of the Car class should have the following attributes:
   • Color
   • License #
   • Make
   • Model

The ParkingGarage Class

1. Your implementation of the ParkingGarage class should have a car array(Car[]) to represent the parking spots. The “spot number” of each parking spot is its array index (starting with spot 0).

2. Your ParkingGarage constructor should take in capacity as input. This will represent the capacity of the parking garage instance.

3. Your ParkingGarage class should implement:

   • park(Car car, int spot) method, that will add the car to a parking spot.
     • If the user attempts to add the car to a spot that doesn’t exist (outside the array), catch the exception and notify the user.
     • If there’s already a car parked in the spot, notify the user that the car cannot be parked in that spot.
   • vacate(int spot) method, that will remove the car from the specified spot.
     • If the user attempts to remove a car from an empty spot, notify the user that no car is present in that spot.
   • printInventory() method, that prints out to the console the the listing of all the cars with a brief description. For each car, please include:
     • The spot number (array index) of the car in the parking garage
     • The car’s color, license #, make, and model

The GarageManager Class and the Main method

1. The GarageManager class will contain the main(String[] args) method for your program. It doesn’t need to contain anything else.

2. Your main() method will act as the “driver” for this program.

3. In your main() method, you should:

   • Instantiate a few ParkingGarage instances with different capacities.
   • Instantiate a few cars, and proceed to park them and unpark them from the garages.

Guidelines

1. Your implementation should be broken down into different methods.

2. Each method should have a well defined “job”.

3. Include comments in your code. At the minimum, include a comment for each method to explain what it does. If you submit code without any comments, 5 points will be subtracted from your assignment score.
