Please Solve This Java Problem. by lekropasky(m): 12:39pm On Aug 20, 2015
Develop a Java application that determines the Gross pay for each of three employees. The company pays straight time for the first 40hours worked by each employee and time and a half for all hours worked in excess of 40hours. You're given a list of the employees, their number of hours worked last week and their hourly rates. Your program should input this information for each employee. Then determine and display the employee"s gross pay.
Use class scanner to input the data.

Goodluck.

For each employee:
employee.pay = employee.hours * REGULAR_PAYRATE
if employee.hours > 40:
employee.pay = employee.pay + ((employee.hours - 40) * 0.5 * REGULAR_PAYRATE)
print employee.pay



Now, write it in Java your damn self. Goodluck!

no_of_employees = 3
k = 1
hourly_pay = float(raw_input())
while k <= no_of_employees:
print "Employee", k
hours = int(raw_input())
if hours <= 40:
gross_pay = hours * hourly_pay
else:
overtime = hours - 40
overtime_pay = overtime * 1.5 * hourly_pay
gross_pay = overtime_pay + (40*hourly_pay)
k += 1
print gross_pay


I hope this helps. Though the sad news is that it is written in Python wink so like the guy up there said, rewrite it in Java. cheesy grin

WoW....thanks Bro.
You Rocks.
I have some questions...

-I dont know the use of the 'k' and why it appears in the print statement.

-and i dont understand where you use 1.5 in the variable overtime_pay.

Thank You.

The bolded explains why I used 1.5, note that a time and a half is the same as 1 1/ 2 = 3/2 = 1.5.
As for the "k", if you run the program, you'll understand how it works.

By the way, have you tried writing the codes in Java? When you run it, what was the output? Do you know that you still need to modify my code so as to enable the user know what to input? Do you know that you have to ensure that every value the user enters is the data type you would want to be inputted; for example, in the case of the code above where the user is being asked to enter the hourly_pay, if he inputs twenty instead of 20, do you know it will give an error msg?
These are just part of the modifications you'll have to make. Good luck wink
