Explanation
- Class
PredatorPreyModel
:- Purpose: Simulates the dynamics of predator and prey populations using the Lotka-Volterra equations.
- Attributes:
prey
: Current population of prey.predator
: Current population of predators.preyBirthRate
: Birth rate of prey.predatorDeathRate
: Death rate of predators.predationRate
: Rate at which predators kill prey.reproductionRate
: Rate at which predators reproduce based on prey.timeStep
: Time increment for each simulation step.
Advertisement - Methods:
simulate(double totalTime)
: Runs the simulation for the specified total time.- Updates: Calculates changes in prey and predator populations based on the Lotka-Volterra equations.
- Outputs: Prints the time, prey population, and predator population at each time step.
Advertisement - Main Function:
- Setup: Prompts the user to input initial populations, rates, time step, and total simulation time.
- Simulation: Creates an instance of
PredatorPreyModel
and runs the simulation.

Usage
- Modeling Ecosystems: Demonstrates how predator and prey populations interact over time.
- Dynamic Behavior: Provides insights into the cyclical nature of predator-prey relationships.
