== Description: ==
The Parking Management System is a command-line utility developed in C,
designed to efficiently manage a parking lot. It allows users to enter and
exit vehicles from the parking lot, view parking lot information, and change
parking fees for different vehicle types. The system is designed to be
user-friendly and provides real-time updates on parking space availability.

The application utilizes data structures and arrays to manage vehicle entries
and exits. It includes a custom-defined data structure called "vehicle," which
holds essential information such as vehicle number, vehicle type, and entry
time. Vehicle numbers are converted to uppercase to maintain consistency.

The system supports three vehicle types: Motorcycle, Light Vehicle, and Heavy
Vehicle, each associated with specific parking fees. Users can choose the
vehicle type when entering and exiting the parking lot, and the application
calculates the parking fee based on the duration of the vehicle's stay.

To ensure efficient utilization of parking spaces, the system limits the
number of vehicles of each type that can be parked simultaneously. The maximum
capacity for each type of vehicle is defined using preprocessor constants.

The application offers features to display parking lot information, including
the number of available parking spaces for each vehicle type and details of
vehicles currently parked in the lot. Additionally, authorized personnel can
change parking fees using a confirmation number for security.

The codebase is well-organized with modular functions for each feature,
promoting code reusability and maintainability. The main menu presents options
for entering the parking lot, exiting the parking lot, accessing parking lot
information, and changing fees.

The application utilizes the time.h library to record entry and exit
timestamps accurately. It provides formatted timestamp display to enhance user
readability.

The system's error handling ensures that users receive appropriate feedback
when attempting to exceed parking capacity or providing invalid input.
Vehicles not found during exit attempts are flagged, preventing erroneous
exits.

Overall, the Parking Management System offers an efficient and user-friendly
solution for managing parking lots, making it suitable for educational and
small-scale applications. However, for larger parking facilities or production
environments, additional security measures and features may be necessary.
