Problem Statement 1: Hospital Beds Shortage during Corona

Corona has affected human life, and changed things drastically. There is a shortage of
hospital beds in these tough times. Being a programmer in beingartifex, you have
thought to overcome this issue, so that people will not have to rush to different hospitals
to get a bed for their loved ones.

In a village named artifexnagar, there are 10 hospitals named A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J.
Each hospital has 100 beds. Initially, all beds are vacant(there is no patient on any bed).
Now, a person can either book a bed for him, or he/she can be discharged from there.
If a person is discharged from a bed, then that bed is vacant and can be booked again.

For free beds :

A person can enter two data “freebeds” and hospital name, and the bed number of all
beds that are free in that hospital hospital will be displayed.
Bed number will start from 1 and go upto 100 (1, 2, 3, 4 … 100).
A person can book a bed by entering “book” and entering four details of him/her that is
name(one worded), phone number , age and a password . And two more details that is
hospital name and bed number, if that bed is free (that is not previously booked by any
patient , or the patient has been discharged from that bed) , the bed will be booked ,
otherwise a message will display “ bed is already booked”.

For discharge:

A person can discharge from a hospital by entering “discharge” and 3 details, password,
hospital name and bed number. If all the details are genuine, he’ll be discharged , and
that bed of the hospital is again ready to book.
A person can enter “OK” to get out of your program , and you’ll display a message
“thanks for using beingartifex corona management system”.
