Question

Assignment: (Save this file as A7-1.cpp) Write a program to calculate the gross pay for an assembly line employee that works for a company that pays all assembly line workers $7.50 hour. Any employee that works over 40 hours per week is compensated by being paid time-and-one-half for each hour over 40. a. Use main( ) as the driver function. Allow the user to compute as many employees as desired. b. Write the function getName( ) that prompts for the name of the employee and returns it to main( ). c. Write the function getTime( ) that prompts the user for the time worked for that week and returns this value back to main( ). Do not allow the user to enter a negative value for the hours. Display an error message and keep prompting until a valid value is entered. d. Write the function computePay( ) that calculates the gross pay of the employee using the time entered by the user and returns the calculated gross pay back to main( ). e. Write the function displayPay( ) that takes as input the employee’s name, the gross pay and time worked from main( ) and displays these values.

CODE

// import libraries
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
// using namespace
using namespace std;

// b. function getName
string getName(){
        // prompting user to enter employee name
        cout<<"Please enter name of the employee: ";
        // storing name in variable name
        string name;

        // taking input
        cin>>name;

        // returning name
        return name;
}

// c. function getTime
float getTime(){
        // loop till input time is correct
        while(1){
                // prompting user to enter employee name
                cout<<"Please enter working hours of the employee: ";

                // storing result in float hours
                float hours;
                // taking input
                cin>>hours;

                // checking if hours is correct
                if(hours>=0){
                        // return hours
                        return hours;
                }

                // otherwise prompt user to enter again
                cout<<"Negative working hours, Retry..."<<endl;
        }
}

// d. function computePay, to compute gross according to hours
float computePay(float hours){
        // defining variable grossPay
        float grossPay;

        // payment calculation
        if(hours<=40){
                grossPay = hours * 7.5;
        } // otherwise > 40
        else{
                // 7.5 till 40 hours and for remaining hours 7.5*1.5
                grossPay = (40 * 7.5) + (grossPay-40)*7.5*1.5;
        }

        // return grossPay
        return grossPay;
}

// e. function displayPay, to display all details of employee
void displayPay(string name, float hours, float grossPay){
        // displaying result
        cout<<name<<" gross pay for working "<<hours<<" hours is: $"<<grossPay;
        cout<<endl;
}

// a. function main, Driver Function
int main(){
        // while loop, till user want to enter employee details
        // defining variable for run for more employee
        int more = 1;

        while(more){
                // b. getName function call to ask employee name
                string name = getName();

                // c. getTime function call to ask +ve working hours
                float hours = getTime();

                // d. computePay function call to fetch grossPay
                float grossPay = computePay( hours);

                // e. diplay function to display result
                displayPay(name,hours,grossPay);

                // prompting user to enter more employee or not
                cout<<"Do you want to continue <1,0>: ";
                cin>>more;
        }
