Thread: How can I make multiple Person Queues when user defined?

Hello, I need help with making multiple Person Queues and then adding "Person" into a Person Queue with the least amount of "Persons". I'm not sure how I'd go about making a new person with certain parameters and then adding them to a PersonQueue which i'll be referencing to. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. This was given as an assignment. So any parameters or classes that are blank are just part of the structure of the project.

 
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.*;
 
class Person {
    int arrivalTime;
    int departureTime;
    int processingTime;
 
    Person (int minArrivalTime, int maxArrivalTime, int minProcessingTime, int maxProcessingTime) {//creates a person
        generateArrivalTime(minArrivalTime, maxArrivalTime);
        generateProcessingTime(minProcessingTime, maxProcessingTime);
        System.out.print("\nCreated person with arrival time " + arrivalTime + " processing time "+ processingTime);
        this.departureTime = this.arrivalTime + this.processingTime;
 
 
 
 
    }
 
    private void generateArrivalTime (int minArrivalTime, int maxArrivalTime){
 
        this.arrivalTime = (int)Math.random() * maxArrivalTime + minArrivalTime;
    }
    private void generateProcessingTime(int minProcessingTime, int maxProcessingTime){
 
        this.processingTime = (int)Math.random() * maxProcessingTime + minProcessingTime;
 
    }
 
    public int getProcessingTime(){
 
        return this.processingTime;
    }
    public int getArrivalTime(){
        return this.arrivalTime;
    }
 
 
 
 
}
class Event {
 
    String type;
    int time; //this will be either the arrival or departure 
    int param; //arrival = processing time, if departure = checkout line that had the departure 
 
 
 
}
class PersonQueue {
 
    int totalTime;
    int numOfCustomers;
 
 
 
}
class EventPQueue {
 
 
 
}
class Store {
 
    PersonQueue[] mypq; //this is the person queue where I need to add each "Person" into the shortest Person Queue (the amount of PersonQueues (registers) is user defined) 
    EventPQueue myeq; //Priority Queue puts all events into a priority
 
    int totalNumberOfQueue;
 
 
 
    private int numOfCustomers;
 
    Store (int checkoutLines, int numOfCustomers, int minArrivalTime, int maxArrivalTime, int minProcessingTime, int
           maxProcessingTime) {
        this.numOfCustomers = numOfCustomers;
        createPersons(numOfCustomers, minArrivalTime, maxArrivalTime, minProcessingTime, maxProcessingTime); //calls the create Person method
 
    }
 
    void createPersons(int numOfCustomers, int minArrivalTime, int maxArrivalTime, int minProcessingTime, int maxProcessingTime){
 
        for (int i = 0; i < numOfCustomers; i++){
             new Person(minArrivalTime, maxArrivalTime, minProcessingTime, maxProcessingTime); //makes a new Person passing along the parameters in order to make its arrival time and departure time
 
        }
    }
}
 
 
public class Driver {
    public static void main(String[] args){
 
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
    System.out.print("\nEnter number of checkout lines: ");
    int checkoutLines = input.nextInt(); //amount of Person Queues
 
    System.out.print("\nEnter number of customers: ");
    int numOfCustomers = input.nextInt(); //amount of persons needed to be created
 
    System.out.print("\nEnter the min time between arrivals: ");
    int minArrivalTime = input.nextInt();
 
    System.out.print("\nEnter the max time between arrivals: ");
    int maxArrivalTime = input.nextInt();
 
    System.out.print("\nEnter the min processing time for a person: ");
    int minProcessingTime = input.nextInt();
 
    System.out.print("\nEnter the max processing time for a person: ");
    int maxProcessingTime = input.nextInt();
 
    Store simulation = new Store(checkoutLines, numOfCustomers, minArrivalTime, maxArrivalTime, minProcessingTime, maxProcessingTime);
 
    }
}

A sample simulation would be: (The time arriving of a customer is randomly chosen after the user chooses the min arrival time and max arrival time. same with departure time).
Time Activity
0 Customer Arrives (processing time 7) - Customer Joins Queue 1 //this customer would depart at time = 7
2 Customer Arrives (processing time 8) - Customer Joins Queue 2 //this customer would depart at time = 10
7 Customer Departs Queue 1
9 Customer Arrives (processing time 8) - Customer joins Queue 1
10 Customer Departs Queue 2

making multiple Person Queues
and then adding "Person" into a Person Queue

Can you use existing Java SE classes to do the work of the queue? For example the PersonQueue could define an ArrayList internally to hold the queue's contents. Then it would be up to you to define what methods the PersonQueue class would need and then design and write the code for them.
Adding a Person object to an instance of the PersonQueue would simply be done by calling one of the class's methods.

First decide what the PersonQueue class would do.
Make a list of the features the class will need to have and write them down.
Then look at what the class would need to do to implement each of those features.
Pick one feature and work on the code for that.
