Parking Lot Management System

Introduction

This project is a Parking Lot Management System implemented in Java using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles. The system manages the parking lot operations such as vehicle entry, exit, and parking slot allocation efficiently.

Features

1. Vehicle Entry: Allows vehicles to enter the parking lot and allocates a parking slot if available.
2. Vehicle Exit: Marks the slot as empty when a vehicle exits, making it available for future vehicles.
3. Parking Slot Allocation: Allocates the nearest available parking slot based on vehicle size and availability.
4. Parking Lot Status: Displays the current status of the parking lot including occupied and vacant slots.
5. Parking Lot Initialization: Initializes the parking lot with a given number of slots during system setup.
6. Error Handling: Implements robust error handling to manage edge cases such as full parking lot or invalid inputs.
