Work on an application to buy tickets for football matches. It is required that each ticket has a barcode that is checked by those responsible for entry.

I want to know how to do this, what should be included in the barcode, and how the barcode scanner recognizes the ticket and whether it is real or not. If I do not know anything about this mechanism, I hope for a full explanation. Thank you

While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

Time to kick your brain, all things do not comes all cooked.
The job of programming is also CREATING SOLUTIONS.
For the barcode, you have to ask yourself some questions and answer them. The answers will tell you what to do.
'Why a barcode ?' :
- if answer is 'to make the ticket look modern', any barcode with any content will do the job.
- if answer is 'For security and control', it open more questions: 'What data do I need ?', 'What are the security features ?', 'How does it prevent fake tickets ?' ...

This thinking is practice for future job, the more you practice, the better you get. But only you can do it. It is like learning to read and write.
