Airline Seating

Write a program that can be used to assign seats for a commercial airplane. The airplane has 13 rows, with six seats in each row. Rows 1 and 2 are first class, rows 3 through 7 are business class, and rows 8 through 13 are economy class. Your program must prompt the user to enter the following information:

• Ticket type (first class, business class, or economy class)
• Desired seat

The application needs to be menu driven asking the user for the information and informing the user of the resulting operation by redisplaying the current state of the bookings.

If an already booked seat is selected the user needs to be notified and option given to select another seat to reserve.

Important Design

Solution needs to be well structured with functions and no global variables. Global constants are fine for using the information about array sizes. All functions must provide single well-defined purpose.

Sample run of the application showing the flow of the user interaction with the application that you need to implement.
