what would this program look like c++?

Question

how do i create a seating chart like this one in C++..

seats
12345678910
Row 1 ** * ** * * ** *
Row 2 #####**###
Row 3 #**##* * * *#
Row 4 ** * ** * * ** *
Row 5 ** * ** * *###

seats that are taken are represented by a * symbol and seats that are not taken are represented by an # symbol... If someone could just give me a little help to get me started i would truelly appreciate it...

5 rows 10 seats.....the user enters rows and seat numbers being sold...if someone requests ta particular seat thhe program should make sure that seat is available before they are sold....everytime a ticket or group of tickets are sold the program should display the total prices and update the seating chart.....

Answer 1

Usually you would store the status of a seat (taken or vacant) in an array - just iterate over the array as you print out their status.

Answer 2

well, u can start off with a couple of FOR or WHILE loops filling the entire 2-d array (consisting of your rows and columns) with blank seats. then when u ask the user which seat they wanted, just assign the particular 2-d array location the # sign (ex. seat[3][5]). then just make sure that you are still in a loop as long as the user still wants to assign seats.

edit:

btw, you might need to do this dynamically.

Answer 3

how many rows and seats are there supposed to be?? is someone inputting it? is someone inputting what seats are occupied? or does it just have to out put that?
