Question

Car Rental Management System in C++

The aim of this project is to design and implement a computerized Car Rental Management System for a company called COEN244Cars.

The company rents two types of cars: standard and luxury cars. A car is identified by a car identification number (int), a type (string), and a flag that indicates whether the car is currently available or not. The company distinguishes between three types of customers: regular customers, corporate customers, and VIPs (Very Important Persons). A customer is identified by a customer number (int), name (string), address (string), and a telephone number (string). A corporate customer has the following additional attributes: The name (string) and address of the customer’s company (string). Furthermore, the customers have different types of privileges. A regular customer can only rent standard cars for a maximum period of 20 days. Corporate customers and VIPs can rent all types of cars. However, corporate customers can rent a car for a maximum period of 35 days, whereas VIPs can rent a car for a maximum period of 45 days. Using your system, the COEN244Car company should be able to do the following tasks:

a) Add a new car to the inventory

b) Remove an existing car from the inventory

c) Register new customers

d) Remove a given customer from the customer’s list

e) Rent a car to a customer

f) Return a car and update car information

g) Return the privileges of a particular customer.

h) Change the privileges (e.g., modify the rental period for regular customers to 25).

i) Determine whether a given car is rented or not

j) Determine whether a given customer has rented a car

k) Determine whether a given car is a regular customer, corporate, or VIP.

l) Determine the types of cars rented by a customer of a given company.

Question 1

A. Implement the class or classes that represent the car information.

B. Implement the class or classes that represent the company’s customers.

C. Implement the class CarRentalManagement that supports the functions (a) to (l)

Notes: Provide all the necessary data members, constructors, copy constructors, destructors, and member functions.

Include the run result.

Answer 1

PROGRAM:

One structure has to be created with name rentalTrack

Struct rentalTrack

{

char typeOfCustomer; // regular - r, corporate - c and VIP - v

int carIdNum; // Car identification number

char typeOfCar; // luxury - l or standard cars - s

int custNum; // Customer identification number

string issuedDate, returnDate ; // date to calculate

int maxPeriod; //maxperiod a car can be rented;

}

To Calculate return/due date we can use a function

String dueDate(rentalTrack)

{

returnDate=issueDate+maxPeriod;

return returnDate;

}

After the returnDate which we got from dueDate we can compare it with current date for that we can use one function

int compareDate(String date)

{

if(currrentDate>date)

{

daysOverdue = currentDate-date

return daysOverdue //this will be always +ve value so, we can determine that due crossed

}else{

daysLeftdue = currentDate-date

return daysOverdue //this will be always -ve value so, we can determine that due is left with the customer

}

}
