This project was designed and implemented using Object Oriented Programming (OOP) principles in C++. The key aspects are:
- Classes were defined for Room, Student, Booking etc.
- Member functions were used to encapsulate behavior
- Constructor and destructor functions were used where needed
- Inheritance was used to define base and derived classes
- Polymorphism was implemented through virtual functions
This OOP approach made the code more modular, reusable and extensible.
To install this application, you need to compile the source code using a C++ compiler such as g++. You can also use an IDE like Visual Studio or Code::Blocks that supports C++ projects.
If you are using g++, you can compile the project with the following command in the terminal:
g++ -o hostel_booking main.cpp
Replace main.cpp with the actual filename if it's different.
After compiling the code, you can run the application by executing the compiled binary:
On Windows:
hostel_booking.exe
On Linux or Mac:
./hostel_booking
Ensure you have a C++ compiler installed and properly set up on your system to build and run this application.
