🚆 IRCTC Train Ticket Booking System (Java)

A console-based Java application that simulates an IRCTC-like train ticket booking system. This project demonstrates Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts such as classes, objects, encapsulation, and service layers.

📌 Features

User registration and management

View available trains

Book train tickets

Generate ticket details

Modular service-based architecture

Simple and beginner-friendly Java code

🛠️ Technologies Used

Java (JDK 8+)

OOP Principles

Console-based UI

▶️ How to Run the Project

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/IRCTC-Train-Booking-System.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd IRCTC-Train-Booking-System

Compile the Java files:

javac *.java

java IRCTCAPP

📖 How It Works

The application starts from IRCTCAPP.java

Users can be created using UserService

Train details are stored using the Train class

Ticket booking logic is handled by Bookingservice

Ticket details are generated using the Ticket class

🎯 Learning Outcomes
