Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
char type;
int enterHour,enterMinute,leftHour,leftMinute,enterTime,leftTime,finalTime,penalty=0,finalHours;
float fare;
cout<<"Enter vehicle type: ";
cin>>type;
cout<<"Enter an integer between 0 and 24 showing the hour the vehicle entered the lot: ";
cin>>enterHour;
cout<<"Enter an integer between 0 and 60 showing the minute the vehicle entered the lot: ";
cin>>enterMinute;
cout<<"Enter an integer between 0 and 24 showing the hour the vehicle left the lot: ";
cin>>leftHour;
cout<<"Enter an integer between 0 and 60 showing the minute the vehicle left the lot: ";
cin>>leftMinute;
enterTime=enterHour*60+enterMinute;
leftTime=leftHour*60+leftMinute;
if(leftTime<enterTime)
{
finalTime=24*60-enterTime+leftTime;
penalty=150;
}
else
{
finalTime=leftTime-enterTime;
}
if(finalTime%60==0)
{
finalHours=finalTime/60;
}
else
{
finalHours=finalTime/60+1;
}
switch(type)
{
case 'C': if(finalHours<=3)
{
fare=finalHours*1;
}
else
{
fare=3*1+(finalHours-3)*2;
}
break;
case 'T': if(finalHours<=3)
{
fare=finalHours*1;
}
else
{
fare=3*1.5+(finalHours-3)*3;
}
break;
case 'B': if(finalHours<=3)
{
fare=finalHours*1;
}
else
{
fare=3*2+(finalHours-3)*3;
}
break;
default: cout<<"Wrong vehicle type.";
}
cout<<"\nTotal Fare: "<<(fare+penalty);
return 0;
}
