I am currently developing a booking system as a task for my degree. I need the seating plan to be “saved/stored” for each showing time (radio buttons), so that e.g. If I book 2 tickets at 13:00, I can also book 2 tickets on the same spot for 15:00. What is the best way of doing this?

PS: I’m not making use of a database and I would prefer not to; due to task’s requirements.

Here’s my code, please run it if you can.

    If you already have it working for one booking time, all you need to do is take all your data structures used for storing information about that booking time and double them up to support several independent booking times.

    For instance, ArrayList<String> seatsAvailable = new ArrayList<String>(); will become:

    Dictionary<Time, ArrayList<String> > seatsAvailable = 
        new Dictionary<Time,  ArrayList<String> >();
    
    Time firstBooking = new Time(13,0,0);
    Time secondBooking = new Time(15,0,0);
    
    seatsAvailable.put( firstBooking , new ArrayList<String>() );
    seatsAvailable.put( secondBooking , new ArrayList<String>() );
    

    Now you can keep track of two completely seperate ArrayLists of seatsAvailable.
