Assignment 6

Due Tuesday, April 8

Notes:
I have included some sample files.
I have changed the end of file markers to 0 so you can use peek.
I have included information about peek at the bottom of the page.

Birdbrain Air needs to maintain information on its flights and passengers.

In a file flights.txt it maintains a list of flights, in the following form:
flight number;   departure city;      arrival city;     number of seats;      miles
The fields are separated by semicolons. City names may have blanks in them (like San Francisco).
The flight number 0 indicates the end of the file.  We know tthere are fewer than 100 flights.
(A flight corresponds to an airplane.)

In a file passengers.txt the airline maintains a list of passengers for flights in the following format:
flight number; last name;  first name;  frequent flier number (0 if there is none)
The flight number 0 indicates the end of the file.
Being in the frequent flier program is optional for a customer, and a passenger must have signed up to be a frequent flier - this process is not part of this assignment.  For this assignment, if they have a nonzero frequent flier number then they have signed up, else they are just ordinary passengers.

In a file birdbrains.txt the airline maintains a list of those who have signed up as frequent fliers in the form
 frequent flier number        accumulated miles
The frequent flier number of 0 indicates the end of the file.  This file does not contain information for all the passengers, only those who have signed up to be frequent fliers.  (Once a passenger has signed up to be a frequent flier, and once they have accumulated 20000 miles on previous flights, they get treated special, receiving complimentary birdseed on flights.)

Develop a passenger class to store all the information for a passenger and to handle appropriate methods.

Develop an airplane class which contains (at least)

There must be a default constructor because later you will be creating an array of airplanes.
There must be a setsize(...) function which will use new to construct an array of passengers with number_of_seats passengers, pointed to by theSeats.
There must be a destructor that uses delete to destroy the array of passengers ( if such an array has been creaated.)

Build an array, fleet, of airplanes.

Using these tools, write a program that will read the appropriate files, build the fleet of airplanes, put the passengers on the correct flights(airplanes), and print out the following files:
flightlist.txt listing each flight with all its passengers in the following format:
flight number    departure city    arrival city   number of seats   number of passengers
last name, first name   bb (bb if the customer already has more than 20000 frequent flier miles)
last name, first name ...
***

flight number  ...
 

birdbrains2.txt with the same format as birdbrains.txt, but with the frequent flier miles updated to reflect the miles of the current flight.

This is a batch program that should require no input from the user.  However, it should run on any files I provide that are of the right format.

The end of file markers are just a number, not a whole set of flight info, passenger info, etc.  For that reason you may want to try the function peek:
    char istream::peek()
which reads and returns the next character on the istream without removing it from the istream.  Therefore you can peek at the next char, end if it is the eof number, or read the line as a flight or passenger if it is not the end of file.
Sample call:
    char c = cin.peek();
 

I have put up sample files.  They are not the ones I will use for testing the program, but the ones I use will be of the same form.  Things to note:
