Question

need help with C++ homework, can't use pointers or global variables for this assignment.

Write a program that can be used to assign seats for a commercial airline. The airplane has 13

rows, with 6 seats in each row. Rows 1-3 are first-class seats, while rows 5-13 are economy

seats.

Create a menu-driven program. Display a “map” of all of the seats on the airplane (display a star

(*) to indicate the seat is available; display an X if the seat is occupied). Ask the user which class

of ticket they are interested in (first-class or economy) and to select the specific seat(s) they

wish to reserve.

You must create this program by writing the following functions:  initialize will fill the array with '*',  displayMap will display the  current seating map of the entire airplane, makeReservation  will let the user select the specific  seat(s) they wish to reserve, and  validateFunction  will make sure that a) the user is not trying to  reserve seats that are already taken and b) the user’s seat-class choice is appropriate for thespecific seats they’ve selected.
