Introduction

The Vending Machine System is a simulation of an automated machine that dispenses items such as snacks and beverages to users after money is inserted and a selection is made.

Purpose of the Project:
To demonstrate core Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts in Java, including encapsulation, state management, and exception handling, by modeling a real-world self-service kiosk.

Problem Statement

•Manual retail counters require constant human presence, leading to high labor costs.
•Human handling of small cash transactions is prone to calculation errors.
•Traditional shops have limited operating hours, whereas users need 24/7 access to basic supplies.
➜This project solves these issues by automating the inquiry, payment, and dispensing process.

Objectives

✓ To design a class structure that accurately models Products, Inventory, and Currency.

✓ To implement logical checks for stock availability and sufficient funds.

✓ To demonstrate the 'State Pattern' or switch-logic for machine states (Idle, Select, Pay, Dispense).

✓ To ensure robust error handling for user inputs (e.g., negative money, invalid codes).

Scope of the Project

System Covers:
- Inventory maintenance (add/remove items).
- Transaction processing (calculating total price vs. inserted cash).
- Change calculation logic.
- User Interface (Console based simulation).

Limitations:
- No physical hardware integration.
- Does not handle credit card processing APIs (simulation only).

Technologies Used

🛠 Programming Language: Java (JDK 17 or higher)

💻 IDE: Eclipse / IntelliJ IDEA / NetBeans

📚 Concepts: OOP (Classes, Interfaces, Enums), Java Collections Framework (Map/List for Inventory)

System Architecture

The architecture follows a sequential control flow:
1. Start: System initializes inventory.
2. Input: User inputs money and selects code.
3. Process: Validation Logic runs (Is code valid? Is balance > price?).
4. Action: Dispense Product & Return Balance OR Display Error.
5. Termination: Transaction completes; return to idle.

    public void insertMoney(int amount) {
        balance += amount;
        System.out.println("Balance: " + balance);
    }

    public String selectItem(String code) {
        if (!prices.containsKey(code)) return "Invalid Selection";
        int cost = prices.get(code);
        if (balance < cost) return "Insufficient Funds";
        balance -= cost;
        return "Dispensing Item... Change: " + balance;
    }

Output Screens

The console interface guides the user through the process.

Step 1: Menu Display.
Step 2: Money Insertion Confirmation.
Step 3: Successful Transaction message with change calculation.

Results & Analysis

The system was tested with various scenarios to ensure reliability.

Achievements:
- 100% calculation accuracy for change dispensing.
- Robust handling of 'Out of Stock' events.
- Reduced transaction time compared to manual processing.

Conclusion

"The Java Mini Project successfully implements a Vending Machine simulation. It validates the use of Object Oriented Programming to solve real-world automation problems, providing a scalable foundation that could later be connected to a physical database or hardware interface."
