The new airline company, Soaring Eagles, wants to optimise the check-in process of their passengers - NSC Information Technology - Question 3 - 2017 - Paper 1

To determine the number of check-in counters based on the number of passengers in the arrPassengers array, follow these steps:

1. Determine Number of Counters:

   • For 1 to 9 passengers: counter 1
   • For 10 to 16 passengers: counter 2
   • For 17 to 24 passengers: counter 3
   • For More than 24 passengers: counter 4

2. Determine Number of Rows:

   • Calculate the number of rows as: $ext{Number of Rows} = \lceil \frac{\text{Number of Passengers}}{\text{Number of Counters}} \rceil$

3. Sort Passengers in Array:

   • Implement an outer loop to iterate through the array of passengers and an inner loop for sorting. Ensure to swap elements correctly.

4. Copy Passengers' Information to 2D/ Grid:

   • Initialize the counter to test the end of the array.
   • Use a loop through the rows (for) and columns (while), updating the grid with the correct indexes.

5. Display Passengers in Queues:

   • Loop through the headings and the data, ensuring that the correct number of rows and columns are displayed for each passenger's class and number.
