hi, I'm working on a project and I'm almost done. However, I'm having a few problems with the prices.
this is the guide for the project:
Airplane Seat Allocation System
Write a C++ program for the following task using modular approach.
a) 48 seats in 12 rows with a Aisle in the center. Seats at end of each row is a “Window Seat�. The middle two seats in a row are “Aisle� seats and 4 Seats in row one are “Leg Room� Seats.
b) The program should display the seat plan.
c) Display a welcome greeting ,
d) Menu driven program to allow request for, ‘Window’, ‘Aisle’ and ‘Leg Room’ Seats, display seat # and block (if available). If the seats are not available in existing category, display a sorry message.
e) Provide a ‘Quit’ facility to exit from the program.
AND THIS IS MY CODE SO FAR:
I tried to set different prices for the seats but I don't know how to work around the array problem. what I mean is that, how can I put these different prices in dirrent arrays and have them added up and stored inthe totalsales function?
I also don't know how to separate the column so that it would have an aisle down the middle.
Can you please help?
Thanks in advance,
Karen

hi,
just in case I didn't sound very clear with the original post, I'd like different prices for different types of seatings (i.e aisle seats would cost $5, window seats $10) I only did the row prices because I don't know how to do the types prices......I'm rambling... Ok what I WANT is that I want each type of seating has its own price.
Also the prices can't be preset, the program has to asks the user to enter their prices. So, instead of asking the user to "enter the price for Row 1 (or 2, 3....12), it would ask the user to "enter the price for <W>indow seats, <A>isle seats....
that's why I'm thinking that I have to save this in an array or a function so that the total can be calculated. And This PART I don't know how to do, because it links with other functions.
Did I make myself clear to you? Sorry, I'm not very well with words.
Can you please help?

Karen

something like....
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include <iostream> #include <limits> using namespace std; int GetInput(string s) { cout<<s; int input; while (!(cin>>input)) { cerr<<endl<<"error! re-enter"<<endl; cin.clear(); cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(),'\n'); } return input; } int main() { int windowseatprice = GetInput(string("How much for a window seat")); return 0; }

your code looks really complicated to me. I didn't learn about #include <limits> yet, nor cerr, nor...this "cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(),'\n');"
do you know a less-advanced way of doing this?
sorry,

OK, I'll explain it a little. GetInput takes a string to print to the console and returns an int that was entered. If there is a bad input then an error message is printed and the garbage removed from the stream so we can try recieve input again. When for instance cin is expecting an int but gets a char it goes into a failed state. All operations on a failed stream are null and void so first we must clear the error flags. This is what the cin.clear does. After that we can proceed to remove any garbage entered. The cin.ignore line basically says ignore as many chars as you can from the stream or up to the next newline char.This lets us proceed to getting an int from the user. Back in main we declare an int and initialise it with the return value of GetInput.
Need any further elaboration?

Hi,
while waiting for help, I help myself a bit (LOL that sounds so akward). ANYWAY.
Instead of the original code, which is to ask for the price of 12 rows:
//initialize seat prices for each of the 12 rows
for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
cout << "\nPlease enter ticket price for Row " << i + 1 << ": ";
cin >> ticketPrice [i];
}
I changed it to this:
and now I have to find a new way to display this in the DisplayPrices () function, and I don't think I did it right.
can you tell me what I did wrong in the code above?

anyway, I just posted my new code. Can you check that out and give me suggestions?

btw. add #include<string> to top of that code. Forgot that.
Your code is incomplete. If you post a complete example I can look over in my compiler then i'll take a look. I would urge you to at least check out the string type rather than use char arrays. Always remember main never returns void. It always returns int.Your loops look messy.Stick to the KISS principle and you wont go far wrong.
