hi
how can i revise the code below so that as well as being able to book a particular hour in the day, I can also request the first free hour of the day?
thanks
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include<conio.h>
struct book
{
char time[5];
bool status;
};
//the array
void makebook(book z[])
{
strcpy(z[0].time,"0900");
strcpy(z[1].time,"1000");
strcpy(z[2].time,"1100");
strcpy(z[3].time,"1200");
strcpy(z[4].time,"1300");
strcpy(z[5].time,"1400");
strcpy(z[6].time,"1500");
strcpy(z[7].time,"1600");
strcpy(z[8].time,"1700");
z[0].status=true;
z[1].status=true;
z[2].status=true;
z[3].status=true;
z[4].status=true;
z[5].status=true;
z[6].status=true;
z[7].status=true;
z[8].status=true;
}
void printbook(book z[])
{
for(int i=0;i<9;i++)
{
cout<<i+1<<" "<<z[i].time<<"\t";
if(z[i].status!=true)
cout<<"Booked"<<endl;
else
cout<<""<<endl;
}
}
void main ()
{
book ob[9];
makebook(ob);
printbook(ob);
char date[11];
cout<<"enter the date in dd/mm/yy format : ";
cin>>date;
bool ask=true;
while(ask==true)
{
cout<<"Enter number of hour to enter appointment : ";
int num;
cin>>num;
num = num - 1;
//checks to see if time already booked
if(ob[num].status==false)
cout<<ob[num].time<<" is already booked"<<endl;
else
{
cout<<ob[num].time<<" is now booked "<<endl;
ob[num].status=false;
}
cout<<"Enter another appointment ? (y/n) : ";
char temp;
cin>>temp;
if(temp=='n')
ask=false;
}
// display output on monitor
cout<<"\nAppointments for "<<date<<endl;
cout<<"\n";
printbook(ob);
cout<<"\n";
}
