I'm trying to make a simulation of a waiting queue. The program includes the queue and the controller of the queue. It works perfectly for 1 queue at a single run time, but now I have to add multiple queues to it. I've made a new struct which includes the two structs mentioned above(queue struct and controller struct), then I allocate memory dynamically using malloc. The thing is that new customers should enter the queue that has the less customers in it each time. I have made a function called QueueCheck but it doesn't make the pointer I've assigned to it show to the queue with the less customers.
The queue functions are the basic functions to handle a queue. Please ignore the comments that are not in English, thank you. Here is the code:
int main(void)
{ Cont_Oura *diaxeirish; /* struct array that includes a queue and it's Controller */
float arrival_possibility; /*pi8anothta afikshs*/
unsigned int simulation_time; /*synolikos xronos prosomoiwshs*/
unsigned int service_time;/*xronos e3yphrethshs enos pelath*/
unsigned int minnum; /* used to randomly generate service time */
unsigned int maxnum; /* used to randomly generate service time */
unsigned int time1; /*roloi prosomoiwshs*/
unsigned int time_left; /*time left for a customer to be serviced*/
unsigned int customer_sum; /*customers that were serviced*/
unsigned int waiting_time; /*synolikos xronos anamonhs*/
unsigned int left_cust; /* customers that were not serviced*/
unsigned int max_cust; /*max number of customers entered the queue */
TSOuras customer; /*The customer in the queue*/
float average; /*average time of customers waiting in the queue*/
float randomArrival;
int controllerInactive=0;
time_t t;
TController Controller;
TOuras queue;
int n, i;
srand(time(&t));
printf("Give number of queues that the simulation will have\n");
scanf("%d", &n);
diaxeirish = (Cont_Oura *)malloc(n * sizeof(Cont_Oura));
if (diaxeirish == NULL){
printf("Not enough space to allocate memory for diaxeirish");
return -1;
}
printf("Give units of time for the simulation (0 <=), arrival possibility in unit of time (0,1), min and max number to calculate (randomly) the service time(same for every queue)\n");
scanf("%u %f %u %u",&simulation_time,&arrival_possibility,&minnum, &maxnum);
getchar();
printf("The simulation will last %4u units of time.\n",simulation_time);
printf("The arrival possibility for a customer in a unit of time is: %4.2f.\n",arrival_possibility);
service_time = (rand() % (maxnum + 1 - minnum) + minnum);
CustomerSetServiceTime(&customer, service_time);
printf("The service time for every customer is %d units of time .\n",CustomerGetServiceTime(customer));
for (i=0; i<=n-1; i++){
QueueCreation(&(diaxeirish->queue)); /* initializes queue */
ControllerCreation(&(diaxeirish->Controller)); /*initializes Controller */
}
QueueCreation(&queue);
ControllerCreation(&Controller);
time1 = 0;
time_left = 0;
waiting_time =0;
i=0;
while( time1 < simulation_time )
{ /* Pelatis- Aytokinhto */
randomArrival = (float)rand()/(float)RAND_MAX;
if ( randomArrival < arrival_possibility ){
CustomerSetEntranceTime(&customer, time1);
QueueCheck(diaxeirish, n, &queue);
if (!QueueIns(&queue, customer)){
printf("Queue is small! The simulation will stop \n");
getchar();
return 0;
};
};
The Cont_Oura struct is this
typedef struct{ /*struct for controller and queue */
TOuras queue;
TController Controller;
}
And the QueueCheck function is this one:
void QueueCheck(Cont_Oura *diaxeirish, int n, TOuras *queue){ /*the customers start entering from the queue number n, then n-1... */
if (QueueGetSize((diaxeirish+n-1)->queue) == 0 || (QueueGetSize((diaxeirish+n-1)->queue) == QueueGetSize((diaxeirish)->queue))) /* if the last queue has 0 customer or the first and last queue have the same number of customers */
queue = &((diaxeirish+n-1)->queue); /* then add customer to the last queue */
else if (QueueGetSize((diaxeirish+n-2)->queue) < QueueGetSize((diaxeirish+n-1)->queue))
QueueCheck(diaxeirish, n-1, queue);
}
