help for c++ program on flight simulation

[stacia]

hi i am a fourth year computing major and i need some help with the following assignment. The program is to simulate the operation of one day's activity at an airport, and output the times waiting to land and take off for each BWIA flight. the program should include the following as input data :
1. the number of avaliable runways
2. the average time a runway is in use for an arrival
3. the average time a runway is in use for a departure
4. the average number of BWIA arrivals eah hour
5. the average number of other airline arrivals each hour.
6. the average number of BWIA departures each hour.
7. the average number of other airline departures each hour.

# include <iostream.h> 
# include <iomanip.h>

# include " queue.h" 

RandomGenerator generator; 

int 
random(); 

void main( )
{
   double dpt_time,arr_time,bwia_dpt,bwia_arr,runways,other_arr,other_dpt

queue<int> " enter departure time:";
cin>> dpt_time;
cout<< " enter time runway is in use for arrivals:";
cin>> arr_time;
cout<< " enter number of bwia arrivals per hour:";
cin>> bwia_dpt;
cout<< " enter number of bwia departures per hour:";
cin>> bwia_arr;
cout<< "  enter number of other arrivals  per hour:";
cin>>other_arr;
cout<<" enter number of departures per hour:";
cin>>other _dpt;
cout<< " enter number of runways:";
cin>> runways;

initalize members to 0
for (minute = 1; minute <= 60; ++ minute)
{
if (random () < runways)

and this is as i far as i got , please help me.

given the current state of BWIA you could set the date into the future and output 0 for every category as they're almost bankrupt :)

What output will you need? How complex does the calculation need to be?
If you want it truly realistic the number of factors is so mindboggling it can take a supercomputer to calculate it all and a team of hundreds to create the software.

Do you have to account for parallel runway operations or not?
Weather conditions, taxiway congestion, etc. etc.

your post is in violation of the terms of service and has been reported as such.
Plus by doing peoples' homework for them you're doing the entire IT industry a massive disservice by lowering the quality of programmers entering the industry (or rather you're helping people enter the industry as programmers who don't know the first thing about programming, thus increasing the workload of people who do know while decreasing the appreciation others have of us).

My sentiments exactly. User banned, posts deleted, within guidelines of Daniweb.

stacia, would you be interested in buying the code :D P.S. I don't think that you're a forth year student :)
