🚗 Vehicle Management System
A Python project showcasing Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles such as abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, and multiple inheritance through a Vehicle base class and specialized subclasses, managed by a FleetManager.

🎯 Features
Abstract Base Class: Vehicle enforces a common interface for all vehicle types. Subclasses: Car, Truck, Bus, Motorcycle, and ElectricCar with unique behaviors. Multiple Inheritance: ElectricCar combines Car and ElectricMixin for battery-charging functionality. Polymorphism: Shared methods (start_engine, stop_engine) behave differently per vehicle type. FleetManager: Manages a collection of vehicles with add, remove, list, and engine-start capabilities. User Input: main.py accepts user input for vehicle brand, model, and year.
🛠️ How to Run
Clone the repository:git clone https://github.com/ButlerVal/oop-vehicle-system.git cd oop-vehicle-system
Run the project:python main.py
Enter vehicle details (brand, model, year) when prompted.
Example Output Enter vehicle brand: Toyota Enter vehicle model: Camry Enter vehicle year: 2021 ---Starting and Stopping Engines--- 2021 Toyota Camry engine started with a key. 2021 Toyota Camry engine stopped. 2021 Toyota Camry engine started with a heavy-duty switch. 2021 Toyota Camry engine shut down. 2021 Toyota Camry silently powers on. 2021 Toyota Camry powers off. 2021 Toyota Camry engine started with a button. 2021 Toyota Camry engine stopped. 2021 Toyota Camry engine started with a kick. 2021 Toyota Camry engine turned off. 2021 Toyota Camry battery charging... ---Fleet Manager Vehicle List---

📜 Class Overview
Vehicle: Abstract base class with start_engine, stop_engine, and vehicle_info methods. Car: Standard vehicle with key-based engine start/stop. Truck: Heavy-duty vehicle with switch-based engine start/stop. Bus: Large vehicle with button-based engine start/stop. Motorcycle: Two-wheeled vehicle with kick-based engine start/stop. ElectricMixin: Adds battery-charging capability. ElectricCar: Inherits from Car and ElectricMixin for electric vehicle behavior. FleetManager: Manages vehicle collections with methods to add, remove, list, and start all vehicle engines.
💡 Future Enhancements
Add more vehicle types (e.g., HybridVehicle). Implement data persistence using JSON or CSV. Create a command-line interface (CLI) for interactive fleet management. Develop a web or GUI interface for enhanced usability.
