Hi all,

I got the URLyBird assignment and have some confusion about the requirements:

The specs state that bookings are only taken within 48 hours of the start of the room occupancy. The data file has only one field that indicates the booking:
Date available -date 10 The single night to which this record relates, format is yyyy/mm/dd.

This means a booking can only be made for one night and if a booking is made about two days in advance (48hours) then the room cannot be occupied by anyone else until this booking is finished.

No one would realistically implement such a booking system but this is what I interpreted from the specs, can anyone confirm this ??

thanks,

James

James,

UrlyBird is a company that sells 'last minute' hotel rooms. So booking for only 1 night seems logical, also the 48 hour rule.

The instructions however do not say that you have to include this '48 hour rule' in your software.
I'm not going to implement it in mine, and I will jusitfy this in my choices.txt
