The Modern C++ Challenger

By: Brent Arnold, Kristian Secor

Overview of this book

C++ is one of the most widely-used programming languages and has applications in a variety of fields, such as gaming, GUI programming, and operating systems, to name a few. Through the years, C++ has evolved into one of the top choices for software developers worldwide. You’ll begin your challenge with various math problems, including Armstrong numbers. As you progress through the course, the complexity of the challenges will increase. You’ll write a class template that represents a two-dimensional array container. You’ll also write a program to find files in a directory that match a regular expression. While tackling algorithms and data structures, you’ll create buffers and print histograms. Things will get tougher when you’ll write code to implement a general-purpose parallel algorithm using asynchronous functions. Whether it is creating an EAN-13 barcode generator or encrypting and decrypting files, this course will put your skills to test and in turn teach you several new features of C++.

Section 6
Level 5 - Problem 5
Write a program that simulates the way customers are served in an office. The office has three desks where customers can be served at the same time. Customers can enter the office at any time. They take a ticket with a service number from a ticketing machine and wait until their number is next for service at one of the desks. Customers are served in the order they entered the office, or more precisely, in the order given by their ticket. Every time a service desk finishes serving a customer, the next customer in order is served. The simulation should stop after a particular number of customers have been issued tickets and served.
