Cinema house

A cinema ‘house’ is the basic component of a cinema. Each house has a 2-D rectangular seating plan with 1-99 row(s) and 1-26 column(s). The seating plan of a house is fixed and cannot be changed later.

Every seat of the seating plan has one of the three following status:

Empty – available for sale
Sold – occupied and not for sale
Reserved – reserved by administrator and not for sale

Each house can have a movie name, which indicates the currently playing movie.

Each house has a unique house number, which is used to identify different houses.
