VB.NET implementation of Quito's "Pico & Placa" rules for cars on roads.
Pico & Placa applies from 7:00 to 9:30 and from 16:00 to 19:30. Within these periods, certain cars are restricted to circulate in Quito. Thus:
- Cars whose license plate's last digit ends in 1 or 2 must adhere to Pico & Placa schedules on Mondays.
- Cars whose license plate's last digit ends in 3 or 4 must adhere to Pico & Placa schedules on Tuesdays.
- Cars whose license plate's last digit ends in 5 or 6 must adhere to Pico & Placa schedules on Wednesdays.
- Cars whose license plate's last digit ends in 7 or 8 must adhere to Pico & Placa schedules on Thursdays.
- Cars whose license plate's last digit ends in 9 or 0 must adhere to Pico & Placa schedules on Fridays.
- No Pico & Placa applies on Saturdays and Sundays.
PicoPlacaPredictor contains the main classes.
PicoPlacaPredictorTests contains test classes.
PicoPlacaPredictorConsole contains the main application that instantiates objects of PicoPlacaPredictor's classes. This application receives as inputs a license plate string and a date-time string and returns whether Pico & Placa applies to that license plate.
The license plate string must follow the pattern XXX-000 or XXX-0000, where X should be replaced for any capital letter from A to Z and 0 should be replaced for any number from 0 to 9.
The date-time string must follow the pattern dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm, where dd represents the day, MM represents the month, yyyy represents the year, HH represents an hour and mm represents the minutes.
The console output is as follows:
License plate (format: XXX-000 or XXX-0000): DZL-576
Date and time (format: dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm): 19/09/2018 08:36
DZL-576 is restricted to circulate in Quito on 19 September 2018 at 08:36.
License plate (format: XXX-000 or XXX-0000): DZL-576
Date and time (format: dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm): 19/09/2018 10:55
DZL-576 is not restricted to circulate in Quito on 19 September 2018 at 10:55.
