Thread: Cinema Seat Selection HELP!

I can't seem to find the bugs causing the errors. No matter what the default clause in my switch will keep printing and running whatever that is in it. Plus my if statement in the end keeps coming out no matter what in my first ticket choice. And I get alot of warnings. Sorry i am pretty new to C and this is my first project so.. Here's my code i hope you guys could help out

Code:

int SeatsSelectionStandard()
{
    int counter = 1;
    int row = 0;
    int column = 0;
    char rowid;
    int i,j;
    
    int A[8][8] = {
        { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
        { 0, "A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5", "A6", "A7", "A8" },
        { 0, "B1", "B2", "B3", "B4", "B5", "B6", "B7", "B8" },
        { 0, "C1", "C2", "C3", "C4", "C5", "C6", "C7", "C8" },
        { 0, "D1", "D2", "D3", "D4", "D5", "D6", "D7", "D8" },
        { 0, "E1", "E2", "E3", "E4", "E5", "E6", "E7", "E8" },
        { 0, "F1", "F2", "F3", "F4", "F5", "F6", "F7", "F8" },
        { 0, "G1", "G2", "G3", "G4", "G5", "G6", "G7", "G8" },
    };

Your switch statement is insane. It's primarily being used to calculate row. Get rid of it and all that repeated code.

Code:

row = toupper(rowid) - 'A' + 1;   // toupper() is prototyped in <ctype.h>

Hi

You shouldn't ignore warnings. I can't even compile your program.

|18|error: too many initializers for 'int [8]'| (several times)

You have reserved only 8x8 locations for matrix A but you are trying to put 7x9 + 1x8 elements in it.

|18|error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'int' [-fpermissive]| (several times)

Matrix A is declared as matrix of ints, but you're trying to initialise it with string values ("A1" - "G8").
So it needs to be matrix of strings (arrays of characters).

|268|warning: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Wreturn-type]|

You need to put return statements at the end of your functions to remove this warning.

Also, I got this:

|264|error: expected 'while' before '(' token|
|265|error: expected ';' before 'printf'|
|268|error: expected unqualified-id before 'while'|
|269|error: expected declaration before '}' token|

You really need to indent your code properly because it's impossible to find out what goes where and I think that I've spotted several logical errors but I can't be sure.
