Thread: Problem with math in an if/else code in C.

Hi, I'm trying to write a code to ask for and display a person's salary under these conditions:

"If the hours worked are less than or equal to 40, the person receives $8.00 per hour; otherwise, the person receives $320.00 plus $12.00 for each hour worked over 40 hours."

I have the first part down, the only thing I'm not sure how to do is the whole "$12.00 for each hour worked OVER 40 hours." Any ideas?

Here's what I have so far,

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
void main ()
{
        double hour;
        double salary;


        printf("Please enter the number of hours you work each week\n");
        scanf("%lf", &hour);


        if(hour <= 40)
        {
                salary = 8.00 * hour;
                printf("Your weekly salary is $%5.2lf.\n", salary);
        }


        else
        {
                salary = 320.00 + (12.00 * hour);
                printf("Your weekly salary is $%5.2lf.\n", salary);
        }
}

Wowwwwwwwwwwww. Good call man. I was over thinking this way too much. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.
