Airplane Seats

JonnyBlaze213 (11)
Hey there people, back again, below is what my project is supposed to be. The errors I am getting are in line 54 and 178.
Line 54: Expected '(' for function-style cast or type of construction.
Line 178: Expected ';' at the end of declaration.

Im not sure why I'm getting theses if anyone can help that would be great.

This program will allow the user to keep track of airline reservations. The program should display the seating chart for the airplane. It will use an * to indicate a seat is taken and the # to indicate the seat is available. The program will also display a menu which provides the user with several options. There will be two types of seats in the airplane: first class and coach, each of which will have a different cost. The program must make use of files, arrays and functions.

The airplane will have 5 rows in the first class section with 4 seats in each row, 2 on each side of the aisle and 10 rows in the coach section with 3 seats on each side of the aisle. The prices for all the first class seats will be the same. The first 5 rows of coach will be more expensive than the last 5 rows. The prices for the seats will be stored in a file called SeatPrices.txt . The program should read these values from the file and store the values in an array of doubles. This is an example of the seating chart:

12 34
Row 1 ## ##
Row 2 ## ##
Row 3 ## ##
Row 4 ## ##
Row 5 ## ##
123 456
Row 6 ### ###
Row 7 ### ###
Etc.
The menu will provide choices to reserve a seat(s) and display the total number of seats sold (indicating first class and coach), the total number of seats empty in a row, the total number of seats empty in the plane (indicating first class and coach), and the total amount of sales (in dollars).

Validation: The seat requested by the user is a valid row and seat number. The program should also make sure the seat is not already taken

It would help a lot if your indentation was better, but you have an extra curly brace on line 43.
You're also missing a closing brace for your checkSeat function.

And take a look at line 54.

I added reply to line 54 still getting the same error
giblit (3750)
you are missing one on line 51 also..If you had proper indentation you would clearly see the problems :P Using an online formatter (not the best) you can see some of the problems:

@giblit, I see you have done this project before?
giblit (3750)
No. That is your code. The problem is you are missing a bunch of closing braces to your functions.

ok added some extra brackets where i was missing some I'm still getting errors on line:
31 (read only variable is not assigned)
49 (Expected "(" for function-style cast or type construction)
153 (Expected ";" at end of declaration)


This is Driving me NUTS.

Well line 31 is a pretty straight forward error. You have columns as a read-only variable (constant) and you are trying to modify the value of it. You must remove const(make it read-write) if you wish to do this. line 49 you have a random char not sure why.

Also your return statement is after main function ends. You have an extra brace after it. Menu and checkseat are missing closing braces.

Not sure where you added your braces...
