Programming Task - Improving the Bubble Sort

  1. Make the improvements to the Bubble Sort routine as mentioned in the text previously

  2. Create a top films program that stores your top 5 films in an array. Use this code to start: string[] films = { "ADD", "YOUR", "TOP", "5", "FILMS" }; The program should:

    • Create a string array with your top 5 films (use the template code above)
    • Display each of the films using a foreach loop
    • Sort the array into ascending order using Array.Sort() then display the elements
    • Reverse the array into descending order using Array.Reverse() then display the elements
    • Replace the last film from the reversed array with another film then display the elements

  3. Create a subject entry program that allows a user to input all the subjects they are studying and then displays the list of subjects back to them. The program should:

    • Ask the user for the number of subjects they currently study
    • Create an array with a length that matches the number of subjects
    • Use a loop to store each subject as an element in the array
    • Use another loop to output all the subjects entered
    • Challenge: Allow the user to modify their subject choices.

Extension Activity

You have been asked to create a cinema seating program for a local cinema. The cinema needs to keep track of which seats are filled and which are empty. The screens all have 10 rows of seats (A-J) and 18 seats per row. If a seat is booked, it should record whether it is an adult or child sat there.

Your program should:

  • Use a 2D array to represent the seating for a screen
  • Display all of the seats to see which ones are booked or empty
  • Allow the user to book a specific seat if the seat is empty
  • Allow the user to book multiple seats next to each other in a row
  • Output the total number of adult seats booked, child seats booked, and seats left
