my assgment-- animal show ticketing system

Aug 5th, 2009

hello
im doing this assgment.need a solution urgently! Animal Show is organized.
There are 2 sessions for the show, which are 2pm-4pm and 8pm-10pm per day.
There are only 50 tickets available per session per day.
For the show, a ticket for an adult sells for RM10 while for a child of below 12 years of age, the ticket sells for RM5.
When a customer buys a ticket, the cashier would key in the number of adults and number of children. The system would then calculate the total amount to be paid. The system would then print the details and total of the purchase on the screen.
If the total of tickets for a session has reached the capacity (50 tickets), the program would print a warning to the cashier. Your program should be able to print the total amount of sales at the end of the day as a sales report.

these are the things in the coding.The problem is how write the codes using all functions such as if else statements,switch and ext.. I'm new to C++. Can you please guide me a solution?? Currently,im using dev c++ platform. Thanks a lot. Eager to hear from your side. It will be useful in my studies.

You need to learn the basics befor you can do this problem.

Yes, you need to learn the basics first, if you need a quick fix with a few hours to spare to learn. Go on Youtube and search 'thenewboston' and click on his channel and then on the playlist of C++ videos, pretty much straight to the point, with the basics of if functions, else if, structures, user input and output, functions. He is great but video tutorials cannot always explain anything so don't use this long term.

For long term put C++ Tutorial (1) - Absolute n00b spoonfeed into the search field, he isn't English but is brilliant for understanding extras and underlying sciences of it. He has 70 videos times ten mins.

Use thenewboston for quick fixes.

Put your code in code tags: [code=cplusplus]<code here> [/code]
Judging from your code:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
{ if (adults + children > 50);
"warning to cashier\n";
total_amount = (adults * 10) + (children * 5)
cout<<"There are seats available. \n";
 
 
else
total_amount = (adults * 10) + (children * 5)
cout<<"It's full,please come again next time! \n";
}
{ if (adults + children > 50);
"warning to cashier\n";
total_amount = (adults * 10) + (children * 5)
cout<<"There are seats available. \n";


else
total_amount = (adults * 10) + (children * 5)
cout<<"It's full,please come again next time! \n";
}

You don't know your basics well.
If statements:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if(condition) {
  //code here
}
else {
  //code here
}
if(condition) {
  //code here
}
else {
  //code here
}

and check this line again: "warning to cashier\n"; Your forgetting something.

if (adults + children < 50)
{
cout<<"warning to cashier \n";
total_amount = (adults * 10) + (children * 5);
cout<<"There are seats available. \n";
}

else if (adults + children > 50)
{
total_amount = (adults * 10) + (children * 5);
cout<<"It's full,please come again next time! \n";
}

these are my if else statement. it's not functioning whenever i put the value big.the cout is not displaying either and also the condition.. how can i correct it? im confused!

I'm still new at coding as well, but it seems to me like the first thing you're going to want to do is place the recurring portions of your program that don't have a set number of times to run (i.e. asking for number of adults, asking for number of children, etc...) in a while loop and then add them for a total. For example:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
int adults;
int children;
int totalAdults=0;
int totalChildren=0;
while(totalAdults + totalChildren < 50)
{
      cout << "How many adults: \n"
      cin >> adults;
      totalAdults += adults;  
 
     cout << "How many children: \n"
     cin >> children;
     totalChildren += children;
}
int adults;
int children;
int totalAdults=0;
int totalChildren=0;
while(totalAdults + totalChildren < 50)
{
      cout << "How many adults: \n"
      cin >> adults;
      totalAdults += adults;  
      
     cout << "How many children: \n"
     cin >> children;
     totalChildren += children;
}

You want to issue a warning when you reach 50 tickets, so you'll want the following statement:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if(totalAdults + TotalChildren == 50)
{
      cout << "You have sold out this show \n"
              << endl;
}
if(totalAdults + TotalChildren == 50)
{
      cout << "You have sold out this show \n"
              << endl;
}

On the other hand, you don't want to oversell tickets, so you're going to want a stipulation in your while loop that says the following:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if(totalAdults + totalChildren > 50)
{
      cout << "You have entered more ticktes than you have to sell. \n"
              << "Please enter less tickets. \n"
              << endl;
}
if(totalAdults + totalChildren > 50)
{
      cout << "You have entered more ticktes than you have to sell. \n"
              << "Please enter less tickets. \n"
              << endl;
}

Finally, you don't want to be forced to sell exactly 50 tickets, so you'll want to include a way to end the sales early. For example:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
cout << "To finish entering sales, enter 0 for both children and adults" << endl;
 
if(adults == 0 && children == 0)
{
      break;
}
cout << "To finish entering sales, enter 0 for both children and adults" << endl;

if(adults == 0 && children == 0)
{
      break;
}

I hope this helps to set you on the right track.

-D

Re: my assgment-- animal show ticketing system

thank you. it really helps. any suggestion on how to insert time slots. my codes are halfway done but incorrect i guess,, guide me in that. i appreciate it.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int x=1;
int y=2;
int response;
cout<<"there are two sessions per day"<<endl;
cout<<"please type 1 for 2pm-4pm session"<<endl;
cout<<"or"<<endl;
cout<<"please type 2 for 8pm-10pm session"<<endl;
cin>>response;

It seems like you're on the right track in terms of getting the time slot wanted. You're going to want to prompt the user as you have with the two choices. In this particular scenario, you don't need the x or y integers. It should probably look something along the lines of this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
int response
cout << "There are two sessions per day. \n"
       << "Please type 1 for the 2pm-4pm session \n"
       << "or \n"
       << "Please type 2 for the 8pm-10pm session:"
       << endl;
cin >> response;
 
if(response == 1)
{
      //run your code for the first session
}
else if(response == 2)
{
    //run your code for the second session
}
int response
cout << "There are two sessions per day. \n"
       << "Please type 1 for the 2pm-4pm session \n"
       << "or \n"
       << "Please type 2 for the 8pm-10pm session:"
       << endl;
cin >> response;

if(response == 1)
{
      //run your code for the first session
}
else if(response == 2)
{
    //run your code for the second session
}
