Hi, I had a question regarding a coding assignment I understand what to do for the most part but I'm a little stuck on it. I am doing this code in Java, but you can use C++ or Python if that makes you comfortable.

here's the problem.:

This is a randomization and local search problem.  You are managing a conference in the vast city of Fingerville which is 200 square blocks.  Setup your city and then randomly place 20 hotels throughout - using a randomization algorithm.   Each hotel only has 15 available rooms.

Next, randomly place 150 conference attendees throughout the city and determine the closest hotel to them that is available.

Output should include a visual / listing / coordinates (or whatever) to define your city. Then should also list each hotel and each guest - inclusive of where each guest started.

Cost of hotel does not have to come into play - just locality and availability.

Questions

See I my teacher said to do two arrays, one for the hotels and one for the attendees hotel[20] and attendees [150]. My question is how to set up the city. For the 200 square blocks, do we just put that into an array. Like the hotels should stay within that array. Also how do you properly use the Manhattan distance to calculate what the closet hotel is? You need to randomize the hotels and attendees based on how far/close they are to a hotel. Let me know if you know more info.
