Python Parking Management System

A simple command-line parking management application developed with Python.

The program simulates a parking lot with 50 spaces and allows users to view and manage the availability of each parking space.

Features

• Display the status of all parking spaces
• Occupy an available parking space
• Free an occupied parking space
• Find the first available parking space
• Display the total number of available spaces
• Validate parking space numbers
• Handle invalid user input

Technologies Used

• Python 3
• Jupyter Notebook
• Visual Studio Code

How It Works

The parking lot contains 50 spaces.

Each space is represented by one of the following values:

• 0: available
• 1: occupied

The application displays an interactive menu that allows the user to select an operation.

Running the Project

1. Clone or download the repository.
2. Open parking_management.ipynb with Jupyter Notebook or Visual Studio Code.
3. Select a Python kernel.
4. Run the notebook cells in order.
5. Use the menu displayed in the final cell.

Available Options

1. Display the parking status
2. Occupy a parking space
3. Free a parking space
4. Find an available parking space
5. Display the number of available spaces
6. Quit

Possible Future Improvements

• Store vehicle information
• Save parking data in a file or database
• Record vehicle entry and exit times
• Calculate parking fees
• Add a graphical user interface
• Create different parking space categories
• Add unit tests
