Someone help please?

[nubcoder01]

I am new to programming and I am having problems doing this. Can anyone pm me the solution to this? I want to compare mine to another persons. Thanks.

"Develop an algorithm that will determine the gross pay of a particular employee. You need to read the hourly rate, and the amount of hours worked by the employee. You should display the hours, hourly rate, and gross pay of the employee. If the hours worked exceed 40 compute the overtime will be paid 1.5 *hourly rate."

Unfortunately, my little son 11 yrears old, is not home now to solve your problem.
However, you can take a look at Can you help me with my homework assignment?

You want to compare yours to ours....
So, why don't you post your solution and we can give you feedback on it?

1. Please, always use Code tags while posting code snippets. See Announcement: Before you post....
2. Your code cannot be compiled. What are hours, rate, hrsworked , overtime, overtimerate, Grosspay2, hourlyrate, grosspay2? Where and how are they defined?

Also... code is case sensitive.

It's a mistake to come in here an insult our intelligence.

Sorry guys, it's just I'm really new to this stuff. My teacher literally handed me this book called "C Primer Plus 5th edition" and told me to this assignment. I am so clueless. Any advice is appreciated. Where to start? Am I even on the right track? Help!?!?

Can anyone at least help me on where/how I should start this?

int main()
{
   // fill this in 
}

Honestly I am not even sure where to start.....what I posted before is just a bunch of random things that really don't make much sense to me.

So what do you want us to do? I'll give you a test:

Write a C++ "Hello World" program.

If you can't do this properly, then it's futile asking for help with this problem you're having. From what you've written, you shouldn't be able to write a proper "Hello World" C++ program, since there are so many basic beginner errors in the code you posted.

I suggest you read your book from chapter 1 until you understand everything in chapter 1.

Here:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main(){
printf("Hello World! \n");
}

[nubcoder01]

What's wrong with this? It is not compiling.......

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main(){
double hours, rate, grosspay, overtimepay;
printf("Hours:\n");
scanf("&#37;lf", &hours);
printf("Rate:\n");
scanf("%lf", &rate);

if(hours>40)
overtimepay = 40 * rate + (hours - 40) * rate * 1.5;
printf("Over time pay = %lf\n", overtimepay);

else
grosspay = hours * rate;
printf("Grosspay = %lf\n", grosspay);


system("pause");

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main(){
printf("Hello World! \n");
}

No. This is not a correct C++ "Hello World" program.

Thank you for testing your code with Comeau C/C++!

Your Comeau C/C++ test results are as follows:

1 error detected in the compilation of "ComeauTest.c".

In strict mode, with -tused, Compile failed

The following is a correct C++ "Hello World" program:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{   
   std::cout << "Hello World";
}

See the difference?

Also, are you coding in 'C' or C++. If it's 'C' please say so.

At the very least, list the compiler errors. The first error is obvious, as my last post shows. Also, please use code tags when posting code. See how the code I post is formatted nicely, and yours is ragged? The magic of code tags makes the code readable.

You if/else statement is missing {}. Check MSDN on how to use if/else.
