Description
Create a program to allow users look up scheduled flights between two
given cities and choose the one that suits best their needs in terms of time, fares, length of trip.
Note: You do NOT need to build a graphical user interface (since you have not learned this topic), so
you will use the standard command interface.
Flights depart a city at a certain time, on certain days of the week, and arrive at a specific time at the
destination city. For each flight, you will determine rules for calculating three or more different fares:
the basic full fare and a range of available decreasing fares depending on various factors that you will
determine (for example, a 2 week advance purchase fare is 50% off, a one week advance fare is 20%,
some days of the week might be 10% more expensive and so on). In addition some of these fares will
have a quota. You must explain your rationale in your code (as comments in the relevant methods).
Your program MUST offer the following services:
- let the user enter the departure city, the destination city, the desired date and time, and display
all the flights and corresponding fares available. The flight information should include the
flight number, the date and arrival times, the length of the trip. Only the applicable fares
should be displayed (i.e. do not display a 2 week advance fare for a request for a flight in one
week time)
- allow the user to order the results by:
o price (best to more expensive)
o time (increasing)
o travel time (shortest to longest)
o best compromise price/travel time ( you will create your own way of calculating this
compromise and explain it in the method comments)
Your program should also offer at least one additional feature, which you can pick from the following
list or create your own, after discussion with your tutor
- Handle time differences: eg Perth is 3 hours behind Sydney, so you need to adjust the
calculation of the travel times accordingly.
- Handle availability status: if there are 5 seats available for sale and the user buys 4, there
should be only one left for future requests.
- Handle bills: as the user “books” flights, the costs are added up to the bill. To make it more
interesting assume that users shop for more than one flight.
- Handle user accounts: rather than having one unique default user, the user can login or your
program can ask before each request/flight booking the name of the user.
Your code MUST make use of at least one collection (ArrayList, LinkedList or primitive array).
DATA CREATION: The data (the information about the flights) needs to be entered somehow. Since
you have not yet learned how to read and write to a file, you could create a special class to generate
this data. For instance you could create manually a set of cities and then generating (using a loop) a certain number of flights between them with a raw fare. Or you can create them all manually but it is certainly not efficient. That way you can run your program several times always using the same data.
