HELP: a movie reservation in turbo C

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

A program that will create a movie seat reservation. The program will display the summary seats and its status. The user will be ask what seat no. to be reserved, then it will go back again to the summary to display the updated seat status. If the seat no. is already reserved then it will prompt an error message. And also if the input seat no is out of range then it will also prompt an error message. The program is continuously running. Termination of the program will depends on how the programmer will apply.

What I have tried:

I have tried using arrays. and Do-While statement but my programs ends in a infinite loop

Looks like HomeWork
Show your code. explain problem.

I have typed any code yet, since I really can't figure it out. I have an algo/logic in mind but I can't put it in to code (Sorry :( )

the problem is in cide you don't want to show.

Can you help me? :)

a.) "I have tried using Arrays": One should be enough
b.) "....ends in a infinite loop": Under which condition(s)? Already tried to use a debugger?

Hi, I have an algo in mind but I can't put it into code.

[no name] 27-Mar-16 8:23am

You have the algo in your mind, not yet coded? And the infinite Loop....?

1. Loop until user enter seat '0'
2. Inside this loop ask for seat
3. Check seat == '0' then exit
4. Check seat > cMaxSeat: Error message
5. check seat against you seat array
5.a Report check result:
Seat #x Allready booked
Seat #x booked for you

That should do it. Pay Attention to Array index vs. seat number :)

I have tried
like this
if (seatchoice == 1)
but i have a difficulty in the do-while statement

[no name] 27-Mar-16 8:28am

int seatchoice;
do
{
seatchoice= read...
if (seatchoice .....)
{
// Show message "GoodBye... Thank You!!!
}
else if ...
} while seatchoice != 0;

Thank you so much! I will give it a try. Does this still use an array?

[no name] 27-Mar-16 8:40am

Yes you still Need an Array which contains the seat Information. Don't Forget to initialize it :)

Member 12419036 27-Mar-16 8:46am

Thank you for the pointers. I really appreciate it :)

[no name] 27-Mar-16 9:00am

One more Thing: Do it step by step. First do concentrate onto seatchoice == 0, than seatchoice > cMaxSeat and finally do the real work with Reservation. This like you can learn step by step ;)

Can you help me? :)

[no name] 27-Mar-16 8:25am

Yes I will help. But first you have to Show your code. I will not write the code for you :)

I wonder how do you work with Turbo C? Is it through virtual 8086 machine or what? And why?

I think to learn the Basics it does not matter using Turbo c++ or what else ;)
Simply take the one which is avaliable.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 27-Mar-16 16:15pm

On a non-existing OS? might be too much effort for the purpose... :-)

"I have an algo in mind but I can't put it into code."

Well, then get some paper and a pen and follow your algorithm manually.
The paper is the variables you need, and you are the code - so write down each step of what you have to do to make it work yourself.
Then it should be obvious what "arrays" and "loops" you are going to need, so you can start implementing them. Start small, and test each bit as you go on.
So write the code to set everything up, and use the debugger to test it works.
Then write code to print out the current reservations, and make sure it works.
Then start writing the other functions, and test each as you go.

This is your homework, not ours - and you won't learn how to do this on more complex tasks unless you learn how to do this on relatively trivial ones like this! So sit down, think about what you are doing, and make a start.
