Thread: Some C Programming Help

Ok so i'm doing this program for school and i really need to get it done as quickly as possible we are suppose to write a program in "C" a payroll program to be exact its suppose to be something like this:

Problem Statement - Jamrow Trading Co. Ltd has requested a payroll system to be designed in order to manage and maintain the moneys coming out of the company for the work done every 2 weeks by the employees of the company. The pay roll system must be easy to manage by the user and also calculations must be accurate to ensure that no mistakes are made. Also moneys owed for over-time to the workers must be calculated as well. The company has also stated that they want to be able to replicate hard copies of the payroll.


Problem Definition - The program that will be created is a payroll system that will keep track of moneys coming in and out of Jamrow Trading Co Ltd. The program will carry out different function in order to achieve the necessary tasks that the user wishes to perform. The program will be created using 6 functions. The functions are stated below:

1. Total Function – This function is designed to tally the moneys owed to the employees for a period of 2 weeks, for an 8 hour work day. The name that will be given to this function will be “total_func”.

2. Tax Function – This function is designed to subtract the tax owed by the employees to the government. This function will be given the name “govtax_func”

3. Over-Time Function – This function is designed to calculate the over time wages owed to specific workers if over time work is done. The function will be given the name “over_func”

4. View Function – This function is designed to view all the members of the payroll and all the moneys owed to the employees for the duration of the 2 weeks that they have worked. The function will be given the name “view_func”

5. Print Function – This function will be used to print the payroll for the two weeks on a hard copy, so that the company can have it in there record. The function will be given the name “print_func”

6. Special Function – This function is used to add money granted by the employer to the employee. This function will be given the name “spec_func”

7. Name Function – This function will be used to store the name of the employee in order to do the necessary calculations.. This function will be given the name “name-func”.

Abstract: - A payroll system will be designed to keep track of the wages owed to the employees of Jamrow Trading Co. Ltd. The program will be developed using the programming language “C”. The program will calculate the total wages owed by the company to the employees on hourly bases for the duration of 2 weeks. The program will also be designed to subtract the taxes owed by the employees to the government. Added wages for overtime can also be calculated. Printing to hardcopy will also be available if the user wishes to have a hard copy.

i don't even know if im on the right track because thats just how i thought i was gonna do it but i opened CODEBLOCKS and i never even know whats the first thing i should do. Can someone please help me with this.. it's a simple program and also i wanna do a flow chart.. thankzzz.

how can you be studying programmming if you have not any idea where to start with your programs? what have you studied so far in your course?
or are you doing some kind of tech course and the tutor has thrown you a cproject just as a curve ball to amuse himself and assumes you can just do it?
Have you any programming experience, as a hobby say? Have you only just downloaded and opened code::blocks or have you used it before?

The simpler or tougher the things will be, when u try to do it.......
But before jumping in to the swimming pool every body thinks that, swimming is a tough job....
Itz upon u what u wanna do u wanna stare pool, or wanna jump

Happy C/C++ Programming for jumpers.

im actually doing this in school but im lost in da class...
