I am a programming student and have recently missed two weeks of school due
to a serious injury in a car accident. I am completing all of my
assignments (via Labs) but have come across the following lab and can't
seem
to put it all together. The scenario:
A small airline has just purchased a computer for its new automated
reservations system. You have been asked to program the new system. You
are to write a program to assign seats on each flight of the airline's
only
plane (capacity: 10 seats).
Your program should display the following menu of alternatives - Please
type
1 for "First Class" and Please type 2 for "Economy". if the person types
1,
your program should assign a seat in the first class section(seats 1 - 5).
If the person types 2, your program should assign a seat in the economy
section (seats 6 - 10). Your program should print a boarding pass
indicating the person's seat number and whether it is in the first class
or
economy section of the plane.
Use a single-subscripted array to represent the seating chart of the
plane.
Initialize all the elements of the array to 0 in indicate that the seats
are
empty. As each seat is assigned, set the corresponding elements of the
array to 1 to indicate that the seat is no longer available.
Your program should, of course, never assign a seat that has already been
assigned. When the first class section is full, your program should ask
the
person if it is acceptable to be placed in the "Economy" section (and vice
versa). If yes, then make the appropriate seat assignment. If no, then
print the message "Next flight leaves in 3 hours."
Any suggestions? I have a few ideas but I would rather hear some other
ideas...
Thanks in advance,
Simon
