Hi, please help me with this question. Write a program to assign passengers seats on a train journey that travels from Paris to London. Assume the train consists of (78 seats distributed amongst different classes) with the following specifications: 3 classes, 13 rows and 6 seat in each row: (A, B, C, D, E, and F). Row 1- 2: First class, Row 3-7: Business class, and Row 8-13: Economy class. o First ($400 per ticket) o Business ($300 per ticket) o Economy ($100 per ticket) thank you.
Sure, I can help you with that. To write a program that assigns passengers seats on a train journey from Paris to London, you can use any programming language of your choice. I'll give you an example using Python. Here's a code snippet:
```python
# Define the seating plan
seating_plan = [['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'] for _ in range(13)]
first_class = seating_plan[:2]
business_class = seating_plan[2:7]
economy_class = seating_plan[7:]
# Set ticket prices
ticket_prices = {'First': 400, 'Business': 300, 'Economy': 100}
# Initialize available seats
available_seats = {'First': 26, 'Business': 30, 'Economy': 22}
# Assign a seat to a passenger
def assign_seat(passenger_class):
if available_seats[passenger_class] > 0:
# Find the first available seat
for row in seating_plan:
for seat in row:
if row in first_class and passenger_class == 'First':
if seat != 'X':
seat_index = seating_plan.index(row), row.index(seat)
row[row.index(seat)] = 'X'
available_seats['First'] -= 1
return seat_index
elif row in business_class and passenger_class == 'Business':
if seat != 'X':
seat_index = seating_plan.index(row), row.index(seat)
row[row.index(seat)] = 'X'
available_seats['Business'] -= 1
return seat_index
elif row in economy_class and passenger_class == 'Economy':
if seat != 'X':
seat_index = seating_plan.index(row), row.index(seat)
row[row.index(seat)] = 'X'
available_seats['Economy'] -= 1
return seat_index
else:
return None
# Example usage
passenger_class = input("Enter passenger class (First/Business/Economy): ")
seat = assign_seat(passenger_class)
if seat is not None:
print(f"Seat assigned - Row: {seat[0] + 1}, Seat: {seating_plan[seat[0]][seat[1]]}")
else:
print("No available seats in the chosen class.")
```
This example code initializes the seating plan, ticket prices, and available seats. It then defines a function `assign_seat()` to assign a seat to a passenger based on the passenger's chosen class. The function checks if there are available seats in the chosen class, searches for the first available seat, marks it as occupied, and decreases the count of available seats. Finally, it returns the seat index (row and seat number) or None if no seat is available.
You can run this program in your Python environment and interactively enter the passenger class to assign seats based on availability. Please note that this is just a basic implementation, and you can modify it according to your specific requirements.
