Python Object-Oriented (OOP) Parking Garage

Project Week 2 Assignment: Create a Parking Garage Class to get more familiar with OOP.

Your parking garage class should have the following methods:

• takeTicket
  • This should decrease the amount of tickets available by 1
  • This should decrease the amount of parkingSpaces available by 1
• payForParking
  • Display an input that waits for an amount from the user and store it in a variable
  • If the payment variable is not empty (meaning the ticket has been paid), then -> display a message to the user that their ticket has been paid and they have 15mins to leave
  • This should update the "currentTicket" dictionary key "paid" to True -leaveGarage
  • If the ticket has been paid, display a message of "Thank You! Have a nice day."
  • If the ticket has not been paid, display an input prompt for payment
    • Once paid, display message "Thank you, have a nice day!"
  • Update parkingSpaces list to increase by 1 (meaning add to the parkingSpaces list)
  • Update tickets list to increase by 1 (meaning add to the tickets list)

You will need a few attributes as well:

• tickets -> list
• parkingSpaces -> list
• currentTicket -> dictionary

By the end of this project, the student should be able to:

• Explain and/or demonstrate creating classes
• Explain and/or demonstrate creating methods
• Explain and/or demonstrate creating instantiation

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Personal Notes:

# attributes == characteristics (as function parameters)
    # arguments == the specifics (calling the parameters of the function)
# methods == actions
# instantiation == __init__ and other methods (functions of objects)
# objects == variables assigned to classes
# remember SELF! == current instance of class
