Description
The purpose of this challenge is load a struct array from a file. This challenge loads a file of airport codes and allows the user to query its contents.
Requirements
- Using vi, create a text file that will contain the following data as shown below. Ask yourself, Why do the cities with multiple words use a dash instead of an actual space? (Los-Angeles instead of Los Angeles)
BFL Bakersfield 3 LAX Los-Angeles 35 DFW Dallas 21 IAH Houston 23 ONT Ontario 14 LGA La-Guardia 37 AGU Aguascalientes 12 HNL Honolulu 16 JFK New-York 36
- Create a struct that will hold airport data
struct Airport { string code; string city; int terminals; };
- Using a function int load_airports(Airport []). This function will return the number of airport records (lines of text) actually read from the file.
- Ask the user to enter an airport code. If the user enters the word “STOP” then stop asking for codes and exit the program.
- Using the airport code entered by the user, search the array for a matching airport record and report on its number of terminals (See sample interaction). If the airport code is not found, display an appropriate message.
Sample main()
int main() { Airport airports[10]; int count; string code; count = load_airports(airports); // ask the user to enter a code repeatedly until the user // enters STOP as the airport code return 0; }
Sample Interaction
Enter an airport code: BFL BFL (Bakersfield) has 3 terminals Enter an airport code: HNL HNL (Honolulu) has 16 terminals Enter an airport code: YUV No matching record found for YUV Enter an airport code: IAH IAH (Houston) has 23 terminals Enter an airport code: STOP
