Design an Elevator System

A controller runs a building's elevators: people call a car from a floor with an up or down button, choose a floor inside the car, and the controller decides which car answers and where each car goes next. One building, several cars, and time that moves in steps — in each step a car moves one floor, stops at one, or waits.
