How can I do a gross payment program with overtime pay in C?

[lquidplastic]

The more I work on doing this problem the more lost i get.
Im using simple arithmetic and am not sure if I need to use if else statements or while loops, or both. I also need to be able to separate the overtime hours for overtime pay and add them to the regular other 40 hrs. I have been at this problem for 2 weeks now and my brain is done. If anybody can give me a nudge in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. thnx

Can you show us your code so we can see what you've tried? Then we can show you how to fix it.

Just don't use floats for either value. Use integer cents for the money, and if there are partial hours, use integer minutes.

Hi. I had to make a new profile. The other one was not letting me log in or change my pw. Anyway, this is what I have done so far

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


main(){
	
	double ovr = 4.0, grossOvrPay, regPay, hrs, rte = 8;
	
	printf ("How many hours did you work this week?\n");
	scanf ("%lf", &hrs);


	if (hrs <= 40)
		{
		printf("You have no overtime.\n");
	}
		
	else
		if (hrs > 40)
			grossOvrPay = (hrs - 40) * rte + ovr + 320;// + $320 is total pay of 40hrs *8//
	printf ("Your gross pay is: %lf\n", grossOvrPay);
	


	system("pause");


}

Im having trouble defining what the time and a half should be, the arithmetic gives me the wrong answer anything after 42hrs i believe. I feel that I am so close. But im out of ideas. any input you might have Ill greatly appreciate it

ovr has to get time and a half, I have tried .5 and 1.5 and now the 4 you see in this code i just sent. but nothing works after the 42 hrs. perhaps my arithmetic is wrong at the bottom? although i tired it with a calculator using the .5 and I get the right result. Maybe its the double messing with it?
