My problem is how to get a member to book only 4 seats I use bookAisle() and bookWindow() methods that loop through an array of seats. These two functions check a certain number of array subscripts to see if any spots are available, and if there is, it marks it as taken. One function takes the first half of the array and the second function takes the second half of the array. These functions then return a seat number if one has been booked or a -1 if the seat type is taken

And what's the problem? What is happening compared to what you are expecting. Note that it's confusing putting your own words in quotes. Quotes are for quoting other people. It's not clear what came from you and what is the assignment.

Does each member represent one thread? If so, you could store state in the thread so you know how many have been booked. I'm moving this to our forum about Threads.

Anyway one simple thing is noticed your variable j, put that outside as intance variable (outside the methods). Then when your reservation is successful, increment that instance variable until 4. This variable should be up to 4 "per thread". Also I personally think if you use switch case statements instead of if statements for some of your sections can improve readibility. But not sure how your while loop will work out. Here's my version of your app. I just used one thread in main to demonstrate 4 max seats.

thanks a lot tsang your code is a lot readable than mine Tsang said

Anyway one simple thing is noticed your variable j, put that outside as intance variable (outside the methods)

I put variable j inside run() method and run() is for that current thread know, could you please tell me the mistake. I think we have to synchronize the other methods also since sometimes when i ran in cmd they interfered. I think there is a small mistake in case 1: and case2: in determineSeatNumber(int choice) In case 1:

executes even if window seat not available and similarly in case 2: I just added this to your code:

Honestly my version maybe a neater and more readable but ultimately I'm using your code to start with. You know the exact requirements for your program. Behavior-wise you can amend. In my case statements say case 1 bookWindow() method - if bookWindow() is successful, if statement is skipped, print window seat booked and return seat number. Now if bookWindow is not successful (-1), it try bookAisle() method. If that is successful I should return that and if not return 0. So it depends on how many return statements you want to use. At the end of the day you either have a valid seat number or not (0) in which case the printBoardingPass will execute. If seatNumber is 0 nothing happens.

Actually you should use separate classes to test this. If you new BusReserv several times in the BusReserv class main then you will get what you are expecting. To really test this you really also need to "auto-enter" those inputs to simulate. One way to do this is forget/comment out the Scanner stuff and pass in an int to indicate 1, 2, 0. Randomize this is even better. One thing about the array of seats. When new threads start, these thread should access the same array in order to detect no duplicate seats. You may want to separate the int array to a different class (say Seat) and in your main class use a Map<Integer, Seat) instead of the array. >

I think you are not getting your behavior is somewhat because you have your main in your Thread class. I have done a bit to allow testing.

This will book how many seats? I should have started 6 threads. So this should be 24 seats (6*4) since 4 seats max per thread.

Thanks a lot Tsang the output is very neat. I have to really learn to code, Actually no time as I am asked to implement SLR parser in any programming language.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
