Need any assistance

**Chin24** · April 10th, 2018, 05:27 PM

Hi i am new to java and i was wondering if someone could help me with this code

Trinbago Attractions Ltd. has engaged your company, The Software Development
Company Ltd., to design and develop a software solution to replace the paper-based
system currently used to manage operational data and support business operations.
Business analysis personnel from your company have recently concluded their
investigation phase of the client organization and have produced documentation detailing
their findings inclusive of a basic analysis of stakeholder needs.
The team has provided the following:
1. There are two major users of the system, general clerical staff and attraction staff.
2. Clerical Staff can:
a. Register Customers (requires the customer’s name, age, gender, weight
and height)
b. Edit Customer Details
c. Search for Customers
d. Accept Payment
e. View Packages
3. The attraction staff can:
a. View Customer Details
b. View attraction rules and regulations
c. Scan customer passes
4. Every attraction needs to have a an algorithm that takes into consideration three
factors, in order to determine if a customer can access the attraction. These factors
are:
a. Customer Age
b. Customer Height
c. Customer Weight
5. The main attraction is called “The Blue Flipper” which requires:
a. A minimum age of 10 and a maximum age of 65
b. A minimum weight of 55 pounds and a maximum weight of 220 pounds
c. A minimum height of 3.5 feet and a maximum height of 7 feet
d. If a customer meets the height and weight requirements but is under aged
they can still go on the ride.

you are required to develop two parts of the system:
1. The customer registration to be used by the clerical staff
2. The core logic for gaining admission to “The Blue Flipper”

I've gotten this far.

I've gotten this far.

Ok, what do you want to do next? Pick an item, design the code and try writing it.
If you have problems, post the code (Wrapped in code tags) and ask your questions about the problems you are having.
