All you need to do is actually set the position in "char cinemas[17][20];" to 'X' when a seat is occupied. The displaySeat() function will take care of whatever is in the 2-dimensional array.

But it looks like you're doing too many things at once.
You should break this into smaller functions to reduce confusion on just setting the value so you can see WHEN the value is to actually be set.

commented: good suggestions +17

i`m sorry..i still cant get it..could u explain more bout set the position char cinemas[17][20] to x..thats the only part that i still cant get it..

help me please..i`m truly a beginner.. :|

Hi,

Your entire program is almost correct.

Only problem is you are resetting your cinemas in display function:

// This is in your display function. so just before display its resetting your entire array.
	 for( int row = 0; row < 17; ++row )
	 for( int column = 0; column < 20; ++column )
	 {
		 cinema[row][column] = '*';
	 }

Remove that code and take it to the main, you need to set cinemas to "*" only once.

so your main should look like this:

int main ()
{

	char choice;
	bool done = false;
	char cinemas[17][20];

	for( int row = 0; row < 17; ++row )
		for( int column = 0; column < 20; ++column )
		{
			cinemas[row][column] = '*'; //NOTICE spelling of cinemas, in your display its cinema, as that is the name of your parameter, but in main its cinemas.
		}
      
        //Rest of the code.
         
}
#include <iostream>
 #include <cstdlib>
 #include <string>
 
 using namespace std; //used for cout and endl
 
 void displayMenu()
 {

	 system ("cls");
	 cout << " +-------------------------------------------+" << endl;
	 cout << " |         cinema seating project            |" << endl;
	 cout << " |===========================================|" << endl;
	 cout << " | Select :                                  |" << endl;
	 cout << " | 1 => Seat assignment                      |" << endl;
	 cout << " | 2 => Payments (for reserved seats)        |" << endl;
	 cout << " | 3 => Reset Seating Plan                   |" << endl;
	 cout << " |===========================================|" << endl;
	 cout << " | Q => Quit                                 |" << endl;
	 cout << " +-------------------------------------------+" << endl;
	 cout << endl;
	 cout << " Choice : " ;

ok..ive done what u did..but still the seats didnt change to "x"

for

f

or( int row = 0; row < 17; ++row )
	 for( int column = 0; column < 20; ++column )
	 {
		 cinema[row][column] = '*';
	 }

u said it was resetting my display?i guess i can put it in void reset then.. :)

whats is still wrong with my coding?i`ve tried for hours but still nothing good comes out from it.. =.=

Barring an off-by-one error in your array indexing, it works fine on my end.

Narue is correct. It works fine at my side as well.

Try for sit D and row 8, it is somewhere in the middle. at least you should see X
Then fix your array indexing.
