Need Help Creating A New Output with Codeblocks

[cbars]

Hi I'm brand new to C++ and am currently doing a lab that has me so stumped. The first part I managed to do correctly with this code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
int hours;
double gross_pay, rate;
cout << "Enter the hourly rate of pay: $";
cin >> rate;
cout << "Enter the number of hours worked,\n"
<< "rounded to a whole number of hours: ";
cin >> hours;
if (hours > 40)
gross_pay = rate*40 + 1.5*rate*(hours - 40);
else
gross_pay = rate*hours;
cout.setf(ios::fixed);
cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
cout.precision(2);
cout << "Hours = " << hours << endl;
cout << "Hourly pay rate = $" << rate << endl;
cout << "Gross pay = $" << gross_pay << endl;
return 0;
}


Now I need to create a new project in codeblocks to almost do the same thing. However this time after running and entering the hours and pay I need the output to look like this:

Enter your hourly rate of pay:
Enter the number of hours worked:

Hours worked = x
Hourly rate of pay = $xxx.xx
Base pay = $xxx.xx
Overtime pay = $xxx.xx
Gross pay = $xxx.xx

Basically what's being added is the overtime pay and base pay.

Yeah sorry about got my question in there this time.

[suitedupvet83]

let me just format it for you first then I'll look at it

   #include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
int main( ) 
{ 
int hours; 
double gross_pay, rate; 
cout << "Enter the hourly rate of pay: $"; 
cin >> rate; 
cout << "Enter the number of hours worked,\n" 
<< "rounded to a whole number of hours: "; 
cin >> hours; 
if (hours > 40) 
gross_pay = rate*40 + 1.5*rate*(hours - 40); 
else 
gross_pay = rate*hours; 
cout.setf(ios::fixed); 
cout.setf(ios::showpoint); 
cout.precision(2); 
cout << "Hours = " << hours << endl; 
cout << "Hourly pay rate = $" << rate << endl; 
cout << "Gross pay = $" << gross_pay << endl; 
return 0; 
}

Alright sorry like I said I'm brand new to this whole thing. Appreciate what you're doing.

[suitedupvet83]

your gross_pay = rate*40 + 1.5*rate*(hours - 40); is wrong

setup your overtime which i'm assuming is your 1.5 *rate* (hours- 40) and calculate that (since you need that as an output)

your gross pay should then be either your basepay which is equal to (rate *hours) as long as your hours worked is equal to 40 hours or less. or if you worked more than 40 hours then grosspay equals overtime + basepay

[cbars]

So before I make lines for the overtime and base pay where would they go in between?

[suitedupvet83]

For your basepay create an if statement with the condition of working 40 hours or less.

then set up an else statement for your overtime; add a second line to create your max basepay (40* rate); but don't add the two lines together

outside of this if/else statement set up your gross pay (basepay + overtime)

[cbars]

Alright so I've got everything right except for my overtime pay statement. For overtime pay its just listing the amount of overtime made in 1 hour of overtime. For example if I enter $10 hourly wage working 50 hours it'll just list $15 for overtime pay. How can I modify this to make it list the total amount of pay from overtime?
I'm using: cout << "Overtime pay = $" << rate*1.5*(hours > 40) << endl;

[suitedupvet83]

since you pretty much figured it out . Here's how I did it

 
   int max= 40; // didn't like using 40 so i just created this int to make it cleaner
   if (hours <= max)
      basepay= rate*hours;
   else
   {
      basepay = max*rate;
      overtime =  1.5*rate*(hours - max);
   }
      gross_pay = basepay+ overtime;
