    very stuck please help!

    ok, i need to finish my computing coursework by wednesday. all i need to finish is the usage stats. but im stuck here goes;
    i have my bookings stucture as
    Code:
    struct booking
    {
            int booker_id;
            int week, day, time;
            int event_title;
            int fee_owed;
    }
    
    bookings booking[50];
    its for a village hall booking program btw dancing, oragami etc.

    i have 1 - 9 representing the 9 weeks in 2 months.
    1 - 6 representing the number of days (not open sunday)
    and 1 - 4 representing the 4 different time zones allowed to book.

    now i need to work out a percentage statistics for each weekly slot usage. how can i do it!!!
    ive been trying swich statements but the code just ends up redicuroulsy big, and not sure how a for loop would work.
    any help would be much appreciated, just ask if your not sure of the stucture.
    thanks in advance dac.

    Right so that is excluding a leap year....31+28 days which is 7 and a tiny bit weeks.

    Well do you mean that you have 4 slots per day?

    So that is 24 slots per week.

    So say you use 10 slots...that would be 41.66666666666% of your weekly usage.

    no sorry, there is 6 days you can book a week mon - sat.
    and 4 daily time slots like 9am to 10.30pm, 11pm to 1.30pm etc.
    when people book they all dont book every slot of every day, some will book mon period 1 another tuesday period 2 etc.

    but for over 2 months.

    e.g.
    there are 9 mon period 1s, if 4 are booked then mon period 1 = 44%
    there are 9 mon period 2s, if 6 are booked then mon period 2 = 66%
