functions and looping

This program should loop and ask employees for their ID, number of hours works and their hourly wage. it should keep collecting info on different employees until an ID # of -1 is entered at which point the program should neatly display all the employee ID's that were entered and each ones gross pay

The way you used tabs makes it not look so good when I copypasted, but anyway, I tried some stuff out and it seems to work.

First off, your sentinel (-1) is in a bad place I would do it like this:

			do
			{
				cout << "Enter employee ID number: ";
				cin >> employeeIDnumber;
				if (employeeIDnumber == -1)
				break;

				cout << "Enter number of hours worked: ";
				cin >> hoursWorked;

				cout << "Enter hourly wage: ";
				cin >> hourlyWage;
                
                values.push_back(employeeIDnumber);
                number_of_employees++;
			}
            while (employeeIDnumber != -1);
			cout << endl;


Also, I added two variables to your list. The vector is pushed back to keep track of the number of times a new employee ID is added to the getInput cycle, as seen above and at the for loop, and the number_of_employees was created to give an end to the for loop I made at the end. I might've read somewhere that the way I used vectors is not the best way to do it, but it works gross pay still needs to be updated, see bottom edit.

void displayEmptyData(int employeeIDnumber, double hoursWorked, double hourlyWage, double grossPay, int number_of_employees, vector<int> values)
	// Purpose:    Displays results of gross pay calculation
	// Parameters: employee ID #, hours worked, hourly wage, gross pay
	// Returns:    None
{
	    for (int i = 0; i < number_of_employees; i++)
		{
		    
			cout << "Employee ID number: " << values[i] << endl;
			cout << "Gross Pay: $" <<fixed << setprecision(2) << grossPay << endl << endl; 
		}
}


Edit: I forgot that something similar needs to be done with the grosspay, otherwise it makes the Payment for all employees the same as the last employee entered. I haven't tried it out, but I think you could turn the pay calculation function into a void function and then make a vector that keeps track of the grosspay each time like the other vector.
