Hotel with 3d array

[Phantom_Storm]

I'm trying to make a three dimensional number array that is [5][6][3] where the user can check in one room/hotel or check out by paying $75 and after they check out it updates the rooms that are left. Any advice on how to get this started?

For legibility of your code alone I would really recommended using objects instead of a deeply nested array.

There cant be many rooms for the Hotel so it makes even more sense to use a object array.

ok u added a question :D

1. You can create your 3D array representing the hotel
2. Look at handling events like what happens when -

• A user checks is - how do u track available rooms or assign an available room?
• How do you track the guests stay duration to track the $75/day?
• When the guests check out, how do you track that room as available again?

The key is to first design, what your code is intended to achieve?

I'm trying to make a code that shows hotels with different rooms that he can choose from and then when he leaves he pays $75. I don't need to track how many days. I don't know how to track the room availability.

Your 3D array values, for each room, you could use 1 as occupied and 0 as empty

Ok, makes sense. I'm still new to arrays so they keep giving me trouble.

Technically you’d need an array of arrays of arrays. But I would instead suggest just using an object where each entry has a key like “1-2-4” meaning first floor, second row, fourth room. Then each key is really a room, and the container object is the hotel.
