AM. If an assignment is due Tuesday, please submit it by 10:05AM (No
Exceptions).
3) Please include proper comments in your programs.
4) If it is a programming assignment, you would need to submit both electronic
copy (to [email protected]) and a hard copy. Same timings apply for
both the submissions.
5) Non-submission of homework electronically OR manually will result in a ‘0’
in that homework.
6) Please read and understand the Cheating Policy mentioned in the course
outline document.
7) Any questions/concerns should be directed to the Professor.
8) I recommend students to start working on the assignment as early as
possible.

Total: 50 Points
Question: Algorithm: 10 points Code/Program: 40 points

Write an algorithm and a Java Program for the below scenario:

We simulate a Car Reservation System where in a user of this system can check the
availability of a car and reserve it. The end-user will be presented with 3 options:
1) View cars 2) Reserve car 3) Exit the system.

Scenario 1: View cars

When the user enters option ‘1’, he can view a list of all the cars and their availability.
Your output should look something like below.
Car Name Availability
Car1 True
Car2 True

Scenario 2: Reserve Car

When user enters option ‘2’, user has the ability to reserve a car. A list of all available
cars is displayed to the user. This means the cars that are already reserved should not be
displayed. When user reserves a car, the availability variable becomes False.

Scenario 3: Exit

When user enters option ‘3’, just break out from the system and your program should end
running.

Below is the skeleton I have designed. Students are free to design their own program.

import scanner class;


Class carrental
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

boolean[] available = { true, true, true };


String[] carname = { “car1”, “car2”, “car3” };

System.out.println(“Welcome to ABC Car Rental Company”);


System.out.println(“********************************”);
System.out.println(“Menu”);

System.out.println(“\n1. View Cars \n 2. Reserve Car \n 3. Exit “);

do
{
// Scanner class to accept user input.
//accept input from the user

if(input == 1)
{
System.out.println(“ CAR NAME AVAILABILITY”);
// Print out the cars and their availability. Write your code here.
}

else
if(input == 2)
{
System.out.println(“ Please enter the car number to reserve a car”);
// display the available cars for the user.
// If the car is not available i.e if the Boolean variable available
is //‘False’ do not print that car.
// If the car is available reserve that car by the setting the available
//variable.

else
if(input == 3)
break;
}while( /*condition*/);

System.out.println(“You have exited the system”);

Sample Run:
