Parking System Documentation

Overview

The parking system is designed to manage parking slots for small cars and motorcycles using a console-based interface. Each vehicle is allocated one slot, and the system tracks vehicle details such as registration number, color, and type. The system supports various commands for parking, checking out, and generating reports.

Commands and Usage

Initialize the parking lot with a specified number of slots:

$ create_parking_lot <number_of_slots>

Example:

$ create_parking_lot 6
Created a parking lot with 6 slots

Parking

Park a vehicle in the next available slot:

$ park <registration_number> <color> <vehicle_type>

Example:

$ park B-1234-XYZ White Mobil
Allocated slot number: 1

Checking Out

Free up a slot upon vehicle checkout:

$ leave <slot_number>

Example:

$ leave 4
Slot number 4 is free

Status Report

Display the current status of all parking slots:

$ status

Example:

$ status
