Question

Chapter 2, Problem 4E in An Introduction to Programming with C++

All of the employees at Merks Sales are paid based on an annual salary rather than an hourly wage. However, some employees are paid weekly while others are paid every other week (biweekly). Weekly employees receive 52 paychecks; biweekly employees receive 26 paychecks. The payroll manager wants a program that displays two amounts: an employee’s weekly gross pay and his or her biweekly gross pay. Complete an IPO chart for this problem. Desk-check the algorithm using $56,700 as the salary. Then desk-check it using $32,660.

I am requesting help on creating the algorithm and desk checking it.

Answer 1

Program

#include<iostream>

//Use std namespace

using namespace std;

//Define a main method

int main()

{

//Declare variable

int n;

//Declare variable

float sal, wgp, bwgp, wp, bwp;

//Loop infinite

while(1)

{

//Display message

cout<<"Enter salary";

//Store value

cin>>sal;

//Compute weekly pay

wgp = sal/52;

//Compute bi weekly pay

bwgp = sal/26;

//Display message

cout<<"\n Salary = "<<sal<<"\n";

//Display message

cout<<"Weekly Gross Pay = "<<wgp<<"\n";

//Display message

cout<<"Biweekly Gross Pay ="<<bwgp<<"\n";

//Display message

cout<<"Enter 0 to terminate or any int value to continue";

//Store value

cin>>n;

//If value is 0

if(n==0)

//Break

break;

}

//Display new line

cout<<"\n";

//Pause console window

system("pause");

//Return 0

return 0;

}
