Bug: Leading Zeros recognised as a unique room

[nus-pe-bot]

Expected Behaviour

• 0-0 and 0-00 should be considered as the same room
• If it's not supposed to be, it doesn't say so anywhere in the UG
• This can cause extreme confusion and error in checking in when not stated clearly in the UG
• Possibility of causing data duplication, which breaks the rooms' uniqueness that must be maintained as stated in your FAQ.

Current Behaviour

• 0-0 and 0-00 are recognised as unique rooms

How to reproduce

• add n/s p/123 e/1@test.com rm/0-0 dr/28/02/22 - 01/03/22 ng/2 rq/test
• add n/q p/123 e/1@test.com rm/0-00 dr/28/02/22 - 01/03/22 ng/2 rq/test

Team's Response

Hotels should have standardised room numbers and hotel managers should be aware of them. It is unlikely that the hotel manager will mistype a room number, and if so, can be corrected easily using the edit command. Room numbers do not check for such user errors as hotels may have similar room numbers but be different rooms, and may not always be numeric. Hence, this is to allow more flexibility in the room numbers that our users are able to input.
