Low-level design (LLD) for a ride-sharing service:

  1. User accounts and authentication: The service will need to allow users to create accounts, log in, and log out. We will also need to implement measures to ensure the security of user accounts, such as password hashing and potentially two-factor authentication.

  2. Rider and driver profiles: The service will need to store information about the riders and drivers, including their contact information, preferred payment methods, and ratings. This will likely involve creating separate tables or data structures for riders and drivers, with fields to store the relevant information.

  3. Ride request and matching: The service will need to allow riders to request rides and drivers to accept or decline requests. This will involve creating forms and handling the associated server-side logic to match riders with nearby drivers.

  4. Payment processing: The service will need to handle payment from riders to drivers, including processing and validating payment methods such as credit cards or mobile payments.

  5. Rating and review system: The service will need to allow riders and drivers to rate and review each other after a ride is completed. This will involve creating forms and handling the associated server-side logic to store and display the ratings and reviews.

  6. User interface: Finally, we will need to design the user interface for the service, including the layout, navigation, and any necessary graphics or styling. This will involve creating wireframes and mockups, as well as implementing the front-end code to bring the design to life.

Here is a possible low-level design (LLD) for a ride-sharing service in Java:

        notificationService = new NotificationService();
    }

    public void signUpUser(User user) {
