Payroll problem

Name: Anonymous 2011-08-31 21:02

Hi

I'm trying to write a payroll program in C++. I used DevC as my compiler, but it's not the best, I know (Windows user). Gcc, MS Visual, and Geany don't do shit for me. So here's my code.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{
                //declaring variables
                double hoursWorked;
                double payRate;
                double regularPay = hoursWorked * payRate;
                double overtimePay = 1.5 * payRate * hoursWorked;
                double grossPay = regularPay + overtimePay;
                double stateTax;
                double federalTax;
                double totalTax = federalTax + stateTax;
                double unionDues;
                double netPay = grossPay - (totalTax + unionDues);

                char input;
               
                cout << "Enter total hours \n" << endl;
                cin >> hoursWorked;
                cout << "Enter rate of pay \n" << endl;
                cin >> payRate;
               
                if ( hoursWorked > 40 )
                   cout << "Gross pay = " << grossPay << 1.5 * payRate * hoursWorked;
                else if( hoursWorked <=40 )
                    cout << "\n\nGross pay = " << grossPay << hoursWorked * payRate;
                   
               
                //state tax section
               
                cout << "\n\nState taxation section \n" << endl;               
                cout << "Please enter gross pay \n" << endl;
               
                cin >> grossPay;
               
                if ( grossPay < 500 )//use if else statements
                   cout << "State Tax is 0 \n" << endl;
                else
                    if ( grossPay >= 500 && grossPay < 1000 )
                       cout << "State Tax is = " << grossPay * ( 3 / 100 ) << endl;
                    else
                        if ( grossPay >= 1000 )
                        cout << "State Tax is = " << grossPay * ( 5 / 100 ) << endl;
                       
                       
                system("PAUSE");
                return 0;
}

Everything runs fine until the taxation area. Right now the double ampersand is a syntax error, but I had it bracketed out to pass the compiler (per the book I'm reading) and it doesn't recognize that my whole taxation area is one large statement of if/else. It correctly says the tax is 0 for values less than 500, but at 501+ it doesn't say anything. I also tried the traditional way here:

//state tax section
                cout << "State Taxation Section. Please Enter Gross Pay. \n" << endl;

                if ( grossPay < 500 )//use if else statements
                   cout << stateTax = 0;
               
                else
                    if ( grossPay >= 500 )
                       { if ( grossPay < 1000 )
                       cout << stateTax = grossPay * ( 3 / 100 );
                       }

                    else
                        if ( grossPay >= 1000 )
                        cout << stateTax = grossPay * ( 5 / 100 );

Same issue. Wtf???

Well my l33t haskell lazy evaluation trumps your bignum libraries. You, along with your puny toy, will be crushed by the power of a real programming language.
