Thread: desperate help with while statements!!

i am in computer programming in school and i went and took off two days of school because my brother was flying in from iraq and i am two programs behind and i need to get them caught up by tomorrow and i have NO IDEA how to do these programs.! can you please help???!


we start all our programs with this:

#include <iostream>
using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

#include <conio.h>

int main ( )
{




the first one i have to do it says to do this:

a large chemical company pays its salespeople on a commission basis. The salespeople each receive $200 per week plus 9 percent of their gross sales for that week. For example, a salesperson who sells $5000 worth of chemicals in a week receives $200 plus 9 percent of $5000, or a total of $650. Develop a program that uses a while statement to input each salesperson's gross sales for last week and calculates and displays that salesperson's earning. Process one salesperson's figures at a time.



the second on says this:

Use a while statement to determine the gross pay for each of several employees. The company pays "straight time" for the first 40 hours worked by each employee and pays "time-and-a-half" for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours. You are given a list of the employees of the company, the number of hours each employees worked last week and the hourly rate of each employee. Your program should input this information for each employee and should determine and display the employee's gross pay.

You really should use code tags.

As the problems you are having, are you expecting someone to just post the code you need? Because I can tell you right now, that isn't how it works on here. My advice to you would be to google 'C while loop tutorial' or something like that (in fact cprogramming.com - this site - has tutorials on this). Read the tutorials, have a go at doing the program and if you have difficulty come back to this forum to ask specific questions. If you want people to help you, you need to show an initial attempt at the problem first, so if you do come back with more specific questions, make sure you post the code you have written (using tags).
