Python 2d array of objects help!
Hey guys,
Basically I'm currently doing a project at school to create a ticket booking system for school shows etc.
I'm trying to create a 2d array 3x3 full of these seat objects so then they can be reserved(res) and named. I need to iteration of the array to number each seat.
Can anyone help, this is a very early Prototype so I can just start thinking of how I'm going to do it.
Any comments will be appreciated thanks!
class seat(object):
* * def __init__(self, seatNo, res, name):
* * * * self.seatNo = seatNo
* * * * self.res = res
* * * * self.name = name
seatList = []
count1 = 0
for count1 in range(1, 3):
* * seatList.append(seat(count1, False, ""))
* * for count2 in range(count1,6):
* * * * seatList.append(seat(count2,False, ""))

I advocate tests. Write tests, then code to make the tests pass. Write more tests, write a little more code toward the final goal, make those tests pass. Retain the early tests to make sure you haven't broken them. Change the tests if your design changes.
I've added a __repr__ method to your class that returns the seat number as a str object, then I print the list you've made. The list is not two dimensional, displaying as [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Code:
class seat(object):
def __init__(self, seatNo, res, name):
self.seatNo = seatNo
self.res = res
self.name = name
def __repr__(self):
return str(self.seatNo)
seatList = []
for count1 in range(1, 3):
seatList.append(seat(count1, False, ""))
for count2 in range(count1,6):
seatList.append(seat(count2,False, ""))
print(seatList)
I'd show more about testing if I knew what you actually intend.
Thank you for caring about syntactical spacing. There's an easier way---highlight your code then press the # icon or the php icon to preserve spaces. See information at the link on my signature.
Here's code that creates a 2D array:
Code:
>>> LIST = []
>>> for i in range(3):
... SUBLIST = []
... LIST.append(SUBLIST)
... for j in range(3):
... SUBLIST.append('seat %2d%c'%(i,ord('A')+j))
...
>>> print LIST
[['seat 0A', 'seat 0B', 'seat 0C'], ['seat 1A', 'seat 1B', 'seat 1C'], ['seat 2A', 'seat 2B', 'seat 2C']]
>>> import pprint
>>> pprint.pprint(LIST)
[['seat 0A', 'seat 0B', 'seat 0C'],
['seat 1A', 'seat 1B', 'seat 1C'],
['seat 2A', 'seat 2B', 'seat 2C']]
>>>

It's going to be (after a 6 months- 1 year of development) a type of ticked booking system, as you would see online while trying to book cinema tickets.
So the reason I have used a class is because I want each seat to hold information on whether it is reserverd, it's number and the name of the person reserving it. This is why you can see me attempting to append this into the 2d array I was trying to make 
I'd seen this pprint before, what does it do differently?
Also what does the %2d%c bit do ?
Sorry For all the questions i am very new to programming.
Really tho thanks, can see what youv done and it's helping me get my head around it.

pprint "pretty prints" its argument
(or pprint.pformat returns a string) optional arguments select line length and other features.
The % operator used with a string causes formatted substitutions using the values from the right hand tuple.
"%d%c"%(i,j)
means, in turn, %d converts the first item of the tuple to a string and replace the %d with that string, while the %c format means to use the character corresponding to the ASCII value of j. The Python group (Guido Van Rossum) may deprecate the % format operator in favor of the format string method. Or you could study the wikipedia string formatting article---string formatting is a common feature of computer languages dating back to, I should say, FORTRAN or perhaps Babbage's computing engine, driven by the desirability of a human form of internal representation.
Anyway, my code was to demonstrate a 2D array structure presented as auditorium seating where I live.

Sorry for the REALLY late reply, terms just started and back into the project.
Been researching a bit and I'm getting the string formatting I just don't get why ASCII J - 106 is needed for anything ? :S
The code is to create a a seating plan holding peoples names etc in. Just like how you'd book cinema tickets. However this is for school plays. This is why I though a class would be appropriate to store ther data.
Hope you get this, the respond youv given so far has really helped.

I intended the first section of my July 16th, 2012 01:41 PM post to
1) help you visualize the structure you've actually created.
2) encourage you to print small samples in many places for you to ensure that you've made what you expect.
The second section of code was to show you how to construct a 2D array in python. Had you executed the code of the first section you'd recognize that you have not made a 2D array.
I'm unfamiliar with "online ticket booking systems".
The auditorium seats probably don't change much. The schedule changes a little bit as well as becomes extended into the future, and certainly the planned attendance varies frequently. I expected a structure---well I'd use dictionaries not arrays since gymnasium seating is grid like but auditorium seating is not---involving dates and seats, the seats storing customer information. Name, paid, reserved, hopeful, gratis, whatever. Then again, some theaters have variable ticket pricing. So the auditorium structure might have seat price and the audience information could be fairly separate.
At any rate, I'm here as are many other top-notch question responders. I don't have a good idea about the nature of the current problematic issue.

I have been using your code for the 2d array playing around with changing how large it is etc, the reason I was using a class is because I wanted to make the seats hold data such as names of people and whether they are reserved or not.
Using your code I can't find a way to make this happen.
Eventually I'm going to put a data base behind it but right now I can't make the seats created hold any information

Sorry just edited my comment managed to get it all working fine,
Even starting to understand it after digesting it bit by bit,
So thank you so much for spending the time to help me with this, really appreciate it.
One final question, is ther a way I can now see the seating plan? Like how you did it in the 2d array? I need a simple visual plan I can develop myself Into a UI
Thanks

With this string method in my Auditorium class I can print an auditorium object. "@" precedes reserved seat numbers, a hyphen precedes available seats.
Note, a command line to run this code, assuming it's on the python path as file p.py, is
$ python -c 'import p;p.main()'
Code:
import math # import at top level before using str(aud)
....
def __str__(self): # insert into Auditorium class
format = '%%0%dd'%(1+int(math.log10(self.seats())))
f = [c+format for c in '@-']
return '\n'.join(' '.join((f[not s]%s.seatNo) for s in r) for r in self.seatList)
...
print(T0) # insert demonstration statement at end of main

All that seems to do is print what seats are available which is great, I do need that but ATM I wanted to be able to see a 2d array filled with seats such as done before :
Seat 1. Seat 2, seat 3
Seat 4. Seat 5, seat 6
How you made it look before was perfect
Thank you once again

Well, no, but you have to look closely. One seat is filled in the middle of the front row and an @ sign precedes it. Obviously I used a ridiculously large (but approximately real) auditorium for an an example.
If you want the output to include the word "seat" then where the Auditorium __str__ method says
Code:
return '\n'.join(' '.join((f[not s]%s.seatNo) for s in r) for r in self.seatList)
replace for quoted space character the string Now it's your turn to think about programming.

you probably didn't make all the changes I half indicated.

if None is c:
