Triple C's

Objective

Build a Java console application that manages a coffee shop’s menu and a customer loyalty program. You will practice Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) by creating custom classes, managing data with loops, and using logic to award free drinks.

Core Requirements

1. The CoffeeItem Class

This class represents a drink on the menu.

• Attributes: Name and price.
• Encapsulation: Use private fields with Getters and Setters.
• Constructor: Initialize the name and price when a new drink is created.

2. The Customer Class

This class tracks individual shoppers and their progress toward a reward.

• Attributes: Name, email, and drinksPurchased (an integer).
• Methods: * Create a method to increment the drink count.
• Create a method to check if the customer is eligible for a Reward (e.g., if they have bought 5 drinks, the next one is free).

3. The Shop Logic (Main.java)

This is where your program runs. You should:

• Instantiate Objects: Create at least three different CoffeeItem objects.
• Control Flow: Use an if-else statement to determine if a customer pays full price or $0 based on their reward status.
• Loops: Use a while or for loop to simulate a "Daily Sales" cycle, allowing multiple customers to buy drinks until the shop closes.

The Challenge

1. The "Golden Ticket": Add logic so that if a customer spends over $20 in a single transaction, they get a "bonus" point toward their rewards.
2. Input Validation: Use a Scanner to take user input. Ensure the program doesn't crash if someone enters a negative number or an invalid menu selection.

Example Output

Welcome to Triple Cs!
Customer: Alex | Drinks toward reward: 4
Alex purchased a Latte ($4.50).
CONGRATS! Reward reached. Next drink is on us!
