AIrline Booking System

Expand Post »

Hello guys....I just have some doubt about C programming...well I have done a lot of functions for airline booking system but im not able to implement the multi dimensional array... I dont get how should I implement it in this problem as the variables are global and they are used in different functions. So below is just a part of where i am blur on how to use the multidimensional array...here im trying to use 4 dimensional array and I get a lot of errors in it....Hope you guys can help me out....Thanks

Re: AIrline Booking System

You should switch to using a struct to represent your ticket class, destination, seat, and time. . All four of those things are obviously related data. You're only going to cause yourself headache trying to use a 4d array for this purpose, and using a 4d array like that doesn't make sense for your data . Why not create a struct to group the related data and then create an array of structs?

Re: AIrline Booking System

Can you paste the errors you get? And possibly more code?
By the first look I can advise to use pointers instead of int seat[][][][].

Re: AIrline Booking System

My advice was to not use a 4 dimensional array when one is not needed. In fact my claim is that using a 4d array in this case is not good programming. If you were to declare a 2d array with this data:

seats where MAX SEATS is 50
people where MAX PEOPLE is 10

You would then have array[10][50] which is 10 arrays of 50 elements each = 500 elements. But you only have 60 elements. It seems to me that the larger your MAX sizes are declared, the more space you are wasting, unless I am either that tired, or your algorithm is that strange. Additionally, using a 4D array is obviously making your program difficult to debug, so why don't you switch to a sensible alternative? If you don't believe me, then wait for the C experts to come in here, they'll be quick to point out (rightfully so) that I'm wrong if I am wrong.

Please don't PM daniweb members. Personally I don't mind, but in general, that is the rule here. If people want to help they will respond in your thread. Regarding your PM, if your professor mentioned that it was extra credit to use more than a 2D array, then I must be mistaken about my entire post, so ignore all my posts in this thread. Thanks.

Re: AIrline Booking System

no problem. If you want to go that route, I don't see how he could be upset. There are a lot of tutorials online on how to use structs.
