π οΈ Navigating the Metro with Java: Metro App Project π οΈ
π Hello there! Iβm excited to present Metro App, a simple yet powerful Java project that demonstrates the use of data structures to solve a real-world problem π. This project allows users to input the source and destination metro stations and displays both the fare and the shortest route between them. The application also features a metro map to enhance commuters' navigation experience π.
π Project Features Overview π
π Metro App Functionality π
- Shortest Path Calculation: By using different algorithms like Dijkstra, BFS (Breadth-First Search), and DFS (Depth-First Search), the shortest metro route between the source and destination stations is determined.
- Fare Calculation: The fare is dynamically calculated based on the total distance between the two stations.
- Metro Map for Navigation: A visual metro map aids in commuter navigation.
π οΈ Core Concepts Used π οΈ The idea is implemented using Graph and Heap data structures:
- Nodes: Represent each metro station, containing information such as its name, metro corridor, and connecting lines.
- Edges: Represent the distance between two metro stations and the fare calculation based on the distance.
π Main Algorithms & Files π
- Main.java: Contains the primary code for executing the project logic.
- Heap.java: Implements the heap data structure used for optimizing path-finding algorithms.
π οΈ Technologies Used π οΈ
- Java: For building the entire metro app and implementing data structures.
- Graph: Represents metro stations and connections.
- Heap: Optimizes the shortest path algorithm.
π Requirements π
- IDE: You can run the project on any IDE like Eclipse, NetBeans, or VSCode.
- Java Knowledge: Youβll need some basic understanding of Java programming, especially data structures.
- Optional: Knowledge of the Java Collection Framework will make things easier. If you are unfamiliar, check out GeeksforGeeks to get started!
