here is the problem:
airplane seating assignment:
write a program that can be used to assign seats for a commercial airplane. The airplane has 13 rows, with six seats in each row,row 1 to 2 are first class,row 3 through 7 are business class and row 8 to 13 are economy class. your program must prompt the user to enter the following information:
a. Ticket type (first class,business class,economy class)
b. Desired seat
output the seating plan in the following form:
A B C..........F
Row 1 * * * *
Row 2 * X * *
Row 3 * * * *
Row 4 * * X *
row 13

here * indicates the seat available, X indicates the seat occupied . Make a menu driven program ; the show the user the choises and allow to make appropriate choices.


i was able to make the chart but i am not sure how to display Row 1 Row 2 ....Row 13 in the first colum of the array that was my first trouble so i thought i should move forward with giving the choices to make a ticket type selection but that also didn't work that well so if anyone can help me i would highly appreciate it ...thanxx

Use a loop to control each row to be printed by using a counter that is increased by 1 each time through the loop. Then within the body of the loop use an output statement to display the word ROW and the row number (which is actually directly related to the counter controlling the row being printed, but what that relation is will depend on how you set up the loop counter). Then embed a second loop within the outer loop to output the elements of each line from the array called plane. Then go to the next line and repeat until all lines are printed.

actually i tried that already but there was a problem with that my output was going one digit of balance when my rows became two digit like row 10 . so i found a way out its kind of a stupid though my new code looks like this

now my problem is how to control the input like for diffrent classes of tickets like business class and econmy etc. and also how to control if its valid input or not cause if i try with my program 14 f it allocates that seat when actually it dosent even exist

int Row, col;
for ( Row = 1; Row < NUMROWS ; Row++)
{ 
   cout << "ROw " << Row << ' ';
   for (col = 1; col < NUMSEATS; col++)
       cout << plane [Row][col] << " ";
   
    cout << endl;
}

C/C++ assumes input is valid. If you don't trust the user to do that and you want to protect the program from doing something you don't want it to, then you have to program in data validation. In this case you can use a loop to control input.

bool needInput = true;
while(needInput)
{
   cout << "enter data" << endl;
   cin >> data;
   if(data > x && data < y)
     needInput = false;
}

thanx for the help the program is working fine and input validation was one gr8 idea i m going to keep hold of that thanx for the help again
