A vending machine is a type of automated machine that dispenses products, such as snacks, drinks, or other items, when a user inserts payment and selects the desired product. Vending machines are commonly found in public places, such as offices, schools, hospitals, and shopping malls.
History of Vending Machines

The first vending machine was invented in ancient Greece around 215 BCE by Hero of Alexandria, a mathematician and engineer. The machine dispensed holy water in exchange for a coin. In the late 19th century, vending machines became popular in the United States, with the first coin-operated vending machine being installed in 1880.

There are several types of vending machines, including:

Snack Vending Machines: Dispense snacks, such as chips, candy, and nuts.
Beverage Vending Machines: Dispense drinks, such as soda, juice, and water.
Combo Vending Machines: Dispense both snacks and drinks.
Healthy Vending Machines: Dispense healthy snacks, such as fruits and granola bars.
Specialty Vending Machines: Dispense specialty items, such as coffee, ice cream, or umbrellas.

Vending machines work by using a combination of mechanical and electronic components to dispense products. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how they work:

User Inserts Payment: The user inserts coins, bills, or uses a credit card to pay for the product.
Product Selection: The user selects the desired product using a keypad or touchscreen.
Product Dispensing: The vending machine dispenses the selected product through a mechanical system.
Product Delivery: The product is delivered to the user through a chute or compartment.

Convenience: Vending machines provide 24/7 access to products, making them convenient for users.
