    IF Statements

    Write the program logic that will compute the paycheck of an employee. This is as much an exercise in designing your logic as much as a programming exercise in the grammar and syntax.

    Your program's logic will perform a user to perform the following:
    1. Enter the employee's LAST Name
    2. Enter the employee's FIRST Name
    3. Enter the employee's ID Number
    4. Enter the employee's Total Hours Worked up to a maximum of 60 hours
    5. Enter the employee's Pay Per Hour. The Pay per hour cannot be more than $100.00 per hour. It cannot be less than the minimum wage (i.e. $8.50 per hour). Detect any erroneous pay rate and set it to a default. If less than the minimum hourly wage, set to the minimum hourly wage. If greater than the maximum rate then set that employee to the maximum rate. Display an appropriate “error message” telling that data entry clerk what they did.
    6. Federal tax rate and State tax rate range from zero to 40%. State and Federal tax rates cannot exceed a combined 80%.
    7. Calculations include:
    a) Compute the Regular Pay (any hours up to 40 hours) Regular Hours X Pay Per Hour
    b) Compute the Overtime Pay if ANY (hours OVER 40 hours)
    Overtime Hours X Pay Per Hour X 1.25 ("time and a quarter" for overtime)
    c) Compute Gross Pay
    Regular Pay + Overtime Pay (if NO overtime then Overtime Pay is zero)
    d) Compute Federal Taxes Withheld (assume 20% rate, i.e. 0.2) Gross Pay X Federal Tax Rate
    e) Compute State Taxes Withheld (assume 5% rate, i.e. 0.05) Gross Pay X State Tax Rate
    f) Compute Net Pay (Gross Pay - Federal Taxes Withheld - State Taxes Withheld)

    Output the employee's LAST Name, FIRST Name, ID Number, Total Hours, Regular Hours, Overtime Hours, if any (if NO overtime hours then don't print it), Gross Pay, Regular Pay, Overtime Pay, if any (if NO overtime hours then don't print it), Federal Taxes Withheld, State Taxes Withheld, Net Pay. Output format, I leave to your imagination (i.e. some sort of if statement?).


    output where i have to show last name , first name , id, total hours, regular hours
    then regular hour and over time
    then gross pay then federal tax and state tax . i need the constant declare

    Please explain.
    If there are error messages, please copy the full text and paste it here.
    If the output is wrong, copy the output and paste it here and add some comments saying what is wrong with the output and show what the output should be.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>

    Regular time: "+ (hr-otime));
    What are the expected and actual values of hr and otime?
    If otime > hr, then the result will be a negative number.

    Look at where each of those variables get their values and see why they are a problem.

    Define what is in the hr variable
    and in the otime variable.
    Are they compatible?

    when more than 40 then it gaves me a negative answer for the regular time
    What should the answer be?

    Your unformatted code is hard to read and understand. Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
