Restaurant Capacity Manager

Geoffrey Challen // 2021.9.0

Create a class CapacityManager to manage restaurant dining capacity. You should provide a public constructor that allows the capacity of the restaurant to be set as an int when the CapacityManager is created. You don't need to provide either a getter or a setter for the capacity, which will not change.

Provide two methods: enter and leave. Each accepts a count of guests (as an int) that are either arriving (enter) or departing (leave) from the restaurant. Both should return the number of guests after the operation completes as an int. If the count is negative or zero, both methods should throw an IllegalArgumentException. enter should also throw a IllegalStateException if the new party would exceed the capacity of the restaurant. This restaurant also refuses to admit parties larger than 8, and if one arrives enter should throw a PartyTooLarge exception, which you can create without importing:

Note that this is a checked exception!

leave should also throw an IllegalStateException if a party leaves that is larger than 8, or if the leave would cause the number of diners to fall below zero, since both represent mistakes in our enter code.

In both enter and leave, if an exception is thrown, the number of diners should not be changed.

When you are finished, here is how your class should work:

Do not use assert to solve this problem! Now that we know how to throw exceptions, we'll utilize that ability in many of the places that we used assert previously.
