quiz_question_seminar.rb

# You are hosting a seminar and need to assign seats to your attendees. 
# You have 3 rows with 3 seats in each row (total 9 seats). You have 6 attendees. 
# Assign each person a seat making sure that everyone is seated as close 
# to the front as possible. Row A is the first row. A seat name looks 
# like "A1", not "1A". Then output a list of names and seat numbers so 
# the usher can seat each person in the right place. 

rows = ["A", "B", "C"]
seat_numbers = [1, 2, 3]
people = ["Angela", "Bill", "Christine", "Darla", "Edward", "Frank"]


# ======== SOLUTION ============
available_seats = []
seat_assignments = []

# Create array of available seats
rows.each do |row|
  seat_numbers.each do |num|
    available_seats << "#{row}#{num}"
  end#seat_numnbers
end #rows

# Assign a seat to each person
people.each do |person|
  seat_assignments << {:name => "#{person}", :seat => "#{available_seats.shift}"}
end#people.each

# Generate list of names and seat assignments
seat_assignments.each do |person|
  puts "#{person[:name]}: #{person[:seat]}"
end#seat_assignments.each
