Thread: Need help on payroll report

I'm sort of stuck because I don't really know how the functions work here and how to actually READ the input and output file..... Here is the general concept of the problem

Many companies have a system where employees clock in and clock out to determine how much time they work each week. Since these records are already automatically stored in files on companies' computers, it only makes sense to use these files to help calculate how much each employee should get paid. In order to determine how much an employee gets paid each week, you need to know the following two pieces of information:

1) The number of hours they worked in a week
2) Their hourly pay rate

If an employee works 40 or less hours a week, then they simply get paid the number of hours they worked times their hourly pay rate. If an employee works more than 40 hours, then they get paid an extra 50% of their regular pay for the hours over 40 they worked. (For example, if an employee's pay rate is $10/hour and the employee works 50 hours, then he/she would get paid $550, because he/she gets $10x50 = 500 normally, plus an extra .5x(10 hr)x($10/hr) = $50 for his/her overtime.


Here's what i have so far,

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define WEEK 10 

int main()
{
FILE *ifp, *ofp;
int Hr_in, Min_in, Hr_out, Min_out, Total_hr, num_empl;
float pay_rate[EMPLOYEES];
float total_time, pay;
char [WEEK];


ifp=fopen("clock.txt", "r");
ofp=fopen("payroll.txt", "w");


fscanf(ifp, "%d", &num_empl);
fprintf(ofp, Number of employees:"%d\n", num_empl);
for (index=0; index<num_empl; index++) 
{ 
	scanf(outfptr, "%f", pay_rate[index]);
	
}




return 0;

}

I know it's not much, but i'm TOTALLY confused by the input file, which is..

any suggestions would help, and I know this is sort of long for you people to read

THANX VERY MUCH

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww....... Numbers. Okay, looking at the output data, I can infer a few things.

When I divide employee ID 0 pay by their hours, I get 5.15
When I divide employee ID 1 pay by their hours, I get 10.00

This gives us the pay rate.

Looking at the input file

The lines
2
5.15
10.00

Suggests that this holds the employees pay rate information.

Also looking at the output file, the 2,4,5 seem to indicate the number of lines.

ten weeks total on your input sheet

hope this helped

Thanks for clarifying what I've already explained. Glad to see reading is still alive in this day and age.

Hmmm....

Maybe someone will help eventually if you post around enough.
