Assumptions

• The date for the booking comes from somewhere else, e.g. user input
• A booking can only be made for the entire day

Design Decisions

I wanted to tackle this in a Object Oriented Programming paradigm as I have more experience with Functional Programming in JavaScript but I thought the task requirements made more sense in an OOP structure.

Customer:

Acts as a record for each Customer making a booking

Booking:

Stores the necessary information for an individual booking for a specific customer on a specific day at a specific carpark

Carpark:

Stores and manages the necessary data to calculate how many parking bays are available on a given day

BookingManager:

Brings all the components together. Handles the creation of bookings, can retrieve bookings from a given date, etc

Trade-offs

I don't believe I made any!
