Answer to Question #246597 in C++ for MIMI

Question

In South Africa, Buses are used as one of the main transport servicesfor people in the country.

Everyday, they follow the same route from a particular town/city/shopping complex etc., to

another location point.

Create an application that uses a recursive function to:



Allow the bus driver to accept payments from passengers.



Check every bus stop to ensure that it knows whether or not a passenger should still

be in bus or off.

The system should:



use a recursive function to keep accepting passengers in each bus stop until the

second last stop.



be aware of how many stops are left.

Assume that there are seven bus stops from the starting point to the last point. (excluding the

starting and the last point)

Answer 1

#include <iostream>

static float payments = 0;
static int count_stop = 7;
static const int places = 60;
static int passenger[places] = {};

using namespace std;

void move_bus(int n = 1)
{
    cout << "Bus stop " << n << endl;
    if (n == count_stop)
    {
        cout << "The bus has completed its journey" << endl;
        return;
    }
    for (int i = 0;i < places; i++) 
    {
        if (passenger[i] <= n)
        {
            passenger[i] = 0;
        }
    }
    cout << "Passengers got off the bus" << endl;
    char choise;
    int pay;
    cout << "Passengers boarding in progress: " << endl;
    for (int i = 0; i < places; i++)
    {
        if (passenger[i] == 0)
        {
            cout << "Are there passengers for boarding? (y/n) ";
            cin >> choise;
            if (choise != 'y') 
            {
                break;
            }
            cout << "What stop does the passenger take ? ";
            cin >> passenger[i];
            cout << "Pay the fare: ";
            cin >> pay;
            payments += pay;
        }
    }
    cout << "Passenger boarding completed" << endl;
    move_bus(n + 1);
}

int main()

    move_bus();
    cout << "Total revenues: " << payments << ends;
