Hello Everyone,

I am working on a package delivery simulation. I believe I have a bug. Lines 47-53 give the user the option to choose a particular moment of time where they can see a snapshot of the system's status. The program seems to break down if I choose to view more than one snapshot. When I view the second snapshot, all the data is either lost, or it does not print correctly. It seems like line 49 does not work appropriately the second time it is used.

I would also like feedback on the overall programming. I believe the main() is too large, and I have considered adding the majority to the Event class. Does this make sense?

I would like to get the bugs worked out before I try to make this conversion.

Thanks for taking a look. I know it is lengthy.

I figured out part of my problem. The function called on line 49 is doing what it is supposed to do, which is EMPTY the stacks and queues. Therefore the items are gone.

Other than pushing them back in, is there a way to read the stack and queue contents?
