Question

Most Major airports have separate lots for long-term and short-term parking. The cost to park depends on the lot you select , and how long you stay. Considering this rate structure on the lot you select, and how long you stay. Consider this rate structure from the Salt Lake International Airport during the summer of 2016.

Long-Term (Economy) Parking

-The First Hour is $2.00, and each additional hour or fraction thereof is $1.00

-Daily maximum $9.00

-Weekly maximum $60

Short Term Parking

-The first 30 minutes are $2.00 and each additional 20 minutes or fraction thereof is $1.00

-Daily maximum $32.00

Write a program using matlab that asks the user the following:

-Which lot are you using?

-How many weeks, hours, days, and minutes did you park? Your program should calculate the parking bill.

Answer 1

Solution:

code:

lot=menu('Which lot do you want to park at?','Long-Term Lot','Short-term Lot');

disp('How long did you park in the lot?');

Weeks=input('Weeks:');

Days=input('Days:');

Hours=input('Hours:');

Minutes=input('Minutes:');

switch lot

case 1

bill=LongTermBill(Weeks,Days,Hours,Minutes);

case 2

bill=ShortTermBill(Weeks,Days,Hours,Minutes);

end

fprintf('Ticket Number\nTime Stayed:%3f Weeks %2f Days %2f Hours %2f Minutes\nFee: %4f Dollars\n',Weeks,Days,Hours,Minutes,bill);

LongTermBill.m

function result=LongTermBill(w,d,h,m)

% Makes the calculation the Long-Term Bill

hours=h+(m/60); %adds hours and minutes

hours=ceil(hours);%rounds to the nearest hour

if(hours>=6)

LTbill=(42*w)+(6*d)+6; %adds the total bill

else

LTbill=(42*w)+(6*d)+hours; %adds the total bill

result=Thebill

end

ShortTermBill.m

function result=ShortTermBill(w,d,h,m)

% Makes the calculation the Short-Term Bill

minutes=((h*60)+m)-30);

MinutesPrice=minutes/20;

MinutesPrice=ceil(MinutesPrice);

WeekPrice=7*25; %price to stay in st parking for a week

if(MinutesPrice>=25)

STbill=(WeekPrice*w)+(25*d)+25; % adds the total bill

else

STbill=(WeekPrice*w)+(25*d)+MinutesPrice; %adds the total bill

result=STbill;

end
