OOP Lab 03: Ticket Booking & Category Pricing

Problem Objective

Implement a Ticket class with private attributes: ticketID (int), basePrice (double, default 10.0), and category (char: 'S', 'P', or 'V').

Provide overloaded constructor Ticket(int id, char cat = 'S', double price = 10.0).

Implement category pricing adjustments:

◦
'S' (Standard): Base price remains unchanged (+0%).
◦
'P' (Premium): 30% markup (price * 1.30).
◦
'V' (VIP): 50% markup (price * 1.50).

Implement calculateFinalPrice(double tax = 5.0) returning category-adjusted price plus fixed tax.

Implement standalone function Ticket compareTickets(Ticket t1, Ticket t2) returning the Ticket with the higher final price.

In main(), create tickets for different tiers, calculate final prices with default/custom tax, and compare them.

Expected Terminal OutputStandard Out

[Ticket 1] Ticket ID: 301 | Tier: Standard | Base: $50.00 | Final (tax $5): $55.00
[Ticket 2] Ticket ID: 302 | Tier: Premium | Base: $65.00 | Final (tax $5): $70.00
[Ticket 3] Ticket ID: 303 | Tier: VIP | Base: $75.00 | Final (tax $5): $80.00
Higher Price Ticket: Ticket ID 303 (VIP) at $80.00

Execution Constraints

›Category tiers: 'S' (Standard), 'P' (+30%), 'V' (+50%)
›Default basePrice = 10.0 and default tax = 5.0
›compareTickets must return the higher priced Ticket object
