C++ Help Request

I’m just sort of begginning here and this C++ stuff is overwhelming.
Let’s see I’m trying to make a code file where I would need to
calculate a pay rate based on the person’s position. Then that said
function should calculate the gross pay (rate *hours worked). The function should return gross pay to the main routine.

I would aslo need an Insurance function for Determining the insurance rate based on the type. I think I might have to use an array here in the main routine and pass it to this function.
Then calculate the insurance deduction based on the rate times the gross pay and return insurance deduction to
main routine.
I’m thinking something should look/involve this.

Positions: Rate:
M = Manager… 40.00
S = Supervisor … 20.00
E = Employee … 10.00
Insurance Type: Rate:
1 = Single … 0.02
2 = Single with children … 0.03
3 = Married… 0.04
4 = Married with Children … 0.05
Bonus: Rate:
Gross >= 5000 … 1000.00
Gross is equal to 3000 and <=4999 … 600.00
Gross < 3000 … 0.00
Tax: Rate:
Gross >= 7000 … 0.15
Gross is equal to 4000 and <= 6999 … 0.10
Gross is equal to 2000 and <= 3999 … 0.05
Gross is < 2000 … 0.00
Miscellaneous: Rate:
Medicare deduction … 100.00
Social Security Tax … 0.05

and here’s some code I have where I attempted this.


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//declare variables
double pay;
double rate;
int OT;
int Hours;

 

//get input from user
cout << "Input hours worked: ";
cin >> Hours;
cout << "Enter pay: ";
cin >> rate;



//determine overtime

if(Hours > 40)
{ 
OT = Hours - 40;
Hours = 40;
}
else
OT = 0;
//calculate pay
	
	
pay = (rate * Hours) + (OT * rate * 1.5);
cout << "regular hours " << Hours << endl;
cout << "overtime " << OT << endl;
cout << "pay " << pay << endl;

system ("pause");
return 0;
}

any help?

I just don’t think anyone wants to help with your programming 101 homework.

yeah, it is pretty basic…write some pseudo code, it is a good habit.

^^ I can write pseudocode if I really knew what I was doing, but I did study a while to put in the code I had the best I could. It took me about three days to come up with the code I posted.

I didn’t say this was homework.
