Hello.
I want to start programming the Java project for an automatic coffee vending machine, but the problem is that I haven't found a specifications document to start the work.
If you have any suggestions for specifications on this topic please propose them, and thank you in advance

    Hello,

    I think the best specification would be to simulate exactly what happens in a real coffee vending machine, that is:

    Menu 1:
    - Help: to display the help for using the machine.
    - Bet: which detects the inserted money.

    Menu 2 (result of the betting choice):
    - Beverage menu: offer all available drinks and display their prices.
    - Calculate the difference between the inserted coins and the price.
    - Return the change to the customer.
    - Offer a special menu depending on the drink.
    - Determine the number of sugar spoons.
    - Simulate preparation with a system pause.
    - Give the drink to the customer and display a thank-you message for the visit.

    Actually, you can sophisticate it as much as you want:
    - you can create a database to simulate the quantities of raw materials in the dispenser.
    - record the number of orders.
    - the best-selling item...

    I mean, you can go so crazy if you don’t already have a requested specification.

    Good luck
