In this assignment you are asked to implement a program to handle Travel Requests for ISU faculty.
The program first displays a welcome message and then asks the user to input the details of their travel request along with different expenses. The program then calculates the total cost by adding up the different costs. You may assume that the tax rate is 10% of the entire cost and that the dates will be entered in the following format: mm-dd-yyyy (e.g.,05-22-2024).
Notice that registration fees and travel costs are one time fees whereas other fees are daily. The total cost for the meals should take into account the total number of travel days (to account for meals you have at the airport, for example) whereas the total cost for hotel stay should take into account the total number of nights. For example, if travel dates are from May 22nd to May 28th, then Total days of travel is 7 days while Total nights of stay are 6 nights.
You are provided with the file TravelManager.java with some starter code for reading the values of the different user inputs and storing them as variables with appropriate data types.
You still need to add other variables needed for storing the number of days and nights as integers, the different calculated costs, taxes, as well as total cost as doubles and you need to define the tax rate as a constant.
The program will finally output a summary of expenses as shown below. Please follow the sample run of the program given below for formatting the output. Text in blue are values entered by the user.
