A small airline has just purchased a computer for its new automated reservations system. The president has asked you to program the new system. Youll write a program to assign seats on each flight of the airlines only plane (capacity: 6 seats).
Your program should display the following menu of alternatives:
Please type 1 for "first class"
Please type 2 for "economy"
If the person types 1, assign a seat in the first-class section (seats 13). If the person types 2, assign a seat in the economy section (seats 46). Your program should then print a boarding pass indicating the person's seat number and whether its in the first class or economy section of the plane.
Use a one-dimensional array to represent the planes seating chart. Initialize all 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.
Your program should, of course, never assign a seat that has already been assigned. When the first-class section is full, your program should ask the person if its 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."
