Please help me with my school project.

Hi guys 'n' girls

I'm a russian exchange student having some problems with a school project. Mostly I don't understand everything the teachers are saying
We have been given an assignment witch is supposed to be carried out in both C# and C++. I've only got less than two weeks left.

---

The program is to be a table planning system with information like: persons, tables and some requirements.

Requirements
A group of people have to sit next to each other.
A person can't sit next to or in front of some selected persons within that group.
Men and women need to be placed next to each other - but only if possible.

Objects
People are described by name and gender.
Tables are either round or oblong (square). They have a unique ID and a number of chairs.

I/O
The system needs to read info about people, tables and requirements from a clear text file and then automaticly create a suggestion on how to make the table plan.

---

I know the whole thing sounds a bit undefined, but ex. the size of the tables and how many guests presented are up to us to decide! Also choosing the number of persons not to sit next to or in front of each other can vary - and so on...

Please help me out - I O U 1
Yours sencerly,

hi anna

Few getting started questionsbr]
Well is this suppose to be written in C++ or C# or does it matter?

Can it be a console application or does it need to be a gui?

The information about the tables will it be stored in a text file, database, hashtable, or just in memory?
