The Parking Lot Simulation project simulates the behavior of cars arriving at a parking lot, parking for a random amount of time, and then leaving. The simulation takes into account scenarios where the parking lot might be full, and cars have to wait for a parking space to become available.
The ParkingLot class represents the parking lot. It maintains information about the number of available parking spaces, the number of parked cars, and the count of cars waiting for parking. This class provides methods to park a car, make a car leave, signal a car to wait, and signal the end of a car's wait. It also offers methods to retrieve the current number of spaces, parked cars, and waiting cars.
The Simulator class contains the main method that initiates the parking lot simulation. It creates an instance of the ParkingLot and continually generates new instances of the Car class in a loop, simulating the arrival of cars at the parking lot.
The Car class represents an individual car arriving at the parking lot. Each car is modeled as a separate thread. This class contains methods to simulate parking, leaving the parking lot, and handling situations where the parking lot is full, causing the car to wait.

The simulation will start, and you'll observe output messages indicating various actions of the cars, such as arrival, parking, waiting, and departure.
