Question
Write a Python function to run a Parking Lot (PL) simulation, called PLSimulation, which
takes four integers as parameters:
• The first parameter (minArriving) is the minimum number of cars that can park in
the PL during one hour.
•
The second parameter (maxArriving) is the maximum that can park during one
hour.
• The third parameter (maxLeaving) is the maximum number of cars that may leave
the PL during one hour.
• The fourth parameter (hours) is the number of hours to run the simulation.
Your function should simulate parking and leaving cars for the specified number of
hours. In each hour, the following occurs in this order:
1. A random number of cars arrive, ready to park (between the minimum and
maximum). That number is added to a count of the number waiting to park.
2. The maximum number of cars that may leave, allowing the same number of cars
to park, so that number is subtracted from the count of the number waiting to
park (if there are that many waiting to park).
Initially, the number of cars waiting to park is 0. To generate a random number of cars
each hour, use the randrange function, which takes two integer parameters, and which
must be imported from the random module.
After the simulation is over, write a report giving the car arrival rate (between the
minimum and maximum), the car departure rate, and the number of cars waiting to
park after the simulation has run for the specified number of hours (hours).
