Constraints are boundaries that limit the movement capabilities of an individual‚ there are three distinct categories‚ organismic (individual)‚ environmental‚ and tasks constraints. Organismic constraints have have two different parts‚ structural and functional components. The structural component of an organismic constraint has three parts‚ body attributes (body weight‚ height)‚ cardiovascular endurance (think of it as if you were told to run a marathon just to get an A on a test without any prior

The tollbooth keeps track of the number of cars that have gone by and of the total amount of money collected. Model this tollbooth with a class called tollbooth. The two data items are a type-unsigned int to hold the total number of cars‚ and a type double to hold the total amount of money collected. A constructor
