You run four computer labs. Each lab contains computer stations that are
numbered as shown in the table below:
Each user has a unique five-digit ID number. Whenever a user logs on, the
user’s ID, lab number, and the computer station number are transmitted
to your system. For example, if user 49193 logs onto station 2 in lab 3,
then your system receives (49193, 2, 3) as input data. Similarly, when a
user logs off a station, then your system receives the lab number and
computer station number.
Write a computer program that could be used to track, by lab, which user
is logged onto which computer. For example, if user 49193 is logged into
station 2 in lab 3 and user 99577 is logged into station 1 of lab 4 then
your system might display the following:
Lab Number Computer Station Numbers
1 1–5
2 1–6
3 1–4
4 1–3
Lab Number Computer Stations
1 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty
2 1: empty 2: empty 3: empty 4: empty 5: empty 6:empty
3 1: empty 2: 49193 3: empty 4: empty
4 1: 99577 2: empty 3: empty
Create a menu that allows the administrator to simulate the transmission
of information by manually typing in the login or logoff data. Whenever
someone logs in or out, the display should be updated. Also write a search
option so that the administrator can type in a user ID and the system will
output what lab and station number that user is logged into, or “None” if
the user ID is not logged into any computer station.
You should use a fixed array of length 4 for the labs. Each array entry
points to a dynamic array that stores the user login information for each
respective computer station.
The structure is shown in the figure below. This structure is sometimes
called a ragged array since the columns are of unequal length.
