BUS RESERVATION USING CPP

By Abhiram eerla

This C++ code implements a basic Bus Management and Reservation System with options to install buses, make seat reservations, show bus info, and display available buses. Limited to 10 buses.

 

 

 

1. Includes and namespace: The code starts by including the necessary header files for input/output, string handling, and standard library. It also uses the std namespace for convenience.

2. Static variables: A static integer p is declared and initialized to 0. This variable will keep track of the number of buses installed.

3. Class a: A class named a is defined, representing a bus. It contains private data members for bus information like bus number, driver's name, arrival and departure time, origin, destination, and a 3-dimensional array seat to store seat reservations.

4. Member functions of class a: The class has member functions for installing a bus, making seat reservations, showing bus information, displaying available buses, and displaying the seat position of a bus.

5. Function vline: This function prints a vertical line of asterisks, used for formatting purposes in various output displays.

6. Definitions of member functions: The member functions of class a are defined outside the class body, providing the implementation for each function.

7. Main function: The main function acts as the entry point of the program. It displays a menu with five options: Install, Reservation, Show, Available Buses, and Exit.

8. While loop: The main function enters a while loop, allowing the user to choose options continuously until they choose to exit (option 5).

9. User input and switch-case: The user inputs their choice, and the program uses a switch-case statement to execute the corresponding function based on the choice made.

10. Installation, Reservation, Show, and Available Buses: These functions handle the respective operations and interact with the user to collect necessary input.

11. Error handling: The code includes some basic error handling, such as checking for invalid seat numbers and improper bus numbers.

12. Exiting the program: The user can exit the program by choosing option 5, which calls the exit function.

Overall, this code provides a simple text-based interface for managing and reserving seats on multiple buses. However, it has some limitations, such as fixed bus capacity and a lack of robust error handling. For a real-world application, additional features, input validation, and data persistence would be necessary.
