A small airline has just purchased a computer for its new automated reservations system. The president has asked to program the new system. Write a program to assign seats on each flight of the airlines only plane (capacity: 10 seats).
The program should display the following menu of alternatives:
Please type 1 for First Class Please type 2 for Economy
If the person types 1, then the program should assign a seat in the first class section (seats 1 5). If the person selects 2, then the program should assign a seat in the economy section (seats 6 10). The program should then print a boarding pass indicating the persons seat number and whether its in the first class or economy section of the plane.
Use a single-subscripted array to represent the seating chart of the plane. Initialize all of the elements of the array to 0 to indicate that all seats are empty. As each seat is assigned, set the corresponding element of the array to 1 to indicate that the seat is no longer available.
The program should, of course, never assign a seat that has already been assigned. When the first class section is full, the program should ask the person if it is acceptable to be placed in the economy section (and vice versa). If yes, then make the appropriate seat assignment. If no, then print the message Next flight leaves in 3 hours. When the plane is full, display Plane is full. Next flight leaves in 3 hours and terminate the program.
Requirements: Use an array.
