Why does it work in Visual Studio and Not Borland

MonteMan · 10-20-2002

My project is nearly done however the teacher is running Borland and I am running Visual Studio. The Program is about 99% working but when I put it in Borland it doesn't work and gives me all these link errors. Can someone help me remmedy this problem ?

**moi** · 10-20-2002

you're going to have to help us a little on what these errors are

**~~master5001~~** · 10-20-2002

Judging by the vagueness of the question I can only give you a general answer. I may make many jokes at borlands expense but it does at least conform to the standards. VC++ doesn't always do this. This could be your problem. Or the version of the borland compiler may be older and some libraries you are using may not be supported (if your a newbie I'm doubtful that this is the case). Are you running the same OS's in both cases?

**BMJ** · 10-20-2002

Or to rephrase what master said... VC++ may allow you to write things that are not standard code, hence Borland pukes on it.

**Halo** · 10-20-2002

Hehe I finally found my user name :-) Anyhow if I were o post my code do you guys think you could maybe point out what Borland Pukes on ???

Also maybe you could help me two things
-On the output.txt file I need it to set presision to two dec. points however when I do the set pression command I only get two numbers !?!?!?!
-There is an error in my code that computes all emplyees axcept for my last one?

Other than that, she works like a million bucks ( This is my first major C++ project so I am pretty happy with myself thus far)

Code:

#include<iostream.h>
#include<fstream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>

int process_employee(int& empnum, float& emprate, float& emphours, ifstream& inData);
void process_payroll(ifstream& inData, ofstream& outData, 
					 const float& FEDERAL_TAX, 
					 const float& STATE_TAX,
					 const float& SOCSEC_TAX,
					 float& totalGP, float& totalNP, float& totalFT, float& totalST,
					 float& totalSS);
void print_summary(ofstream& outData, float& totalGP, float& totalNP, 
				  float& totalFT, float& totalST, float& totalSS);

int main()
{
const float FEDERAL_TAX = .15; 
const float STATE_TAX = .0524;
const float SOCSEC_TAX = .07;

float totalGP = 0, totalNP = 0, totalFT = 0, totalST = 0, totalSS = 0;
char flag = ' ';
int excesshours = 0;

ifstream inData;
ofstream outData;

inData.open("A:\indata.txt", ios::in);
outData.open("A:\outdata.txt", ios::out);

process_payroll(inData, outData, FEDERAL_TAX, STATE_TAX, SOCSEC_TAX, totalGP, totalNP,
				totalFT, totalST, totalSS);
print_summary(outData, totalGP, totalNP, totalFT, totalST, totalSS);


}

int process_employee(int& empnum, float& emprate, float& emphours, ifstream& inData)
{
  inData >> empnum;
  if(inData.eof()) return 0;
  
  inData >> emprate;
  if(inData.eof()) return 0;

  inData >> emphours;
  if(inData.eof()) return 0;

  return 1;
}

void process_payroll(ifstream& inData, ofstream& outData, 
					 const float& FEDERAL_TAX, 
					 const float& STATE_TAX,
					 const float& SOCSEC_TAX,
					 float& totalGP, float& totalNP, float& totalFT, float& totalST,
					 float& totalSS)
{
  int flag = 0;
  int empnum;
  float emprate, emphours, gross, paynet = 0, fed = 0, state = 0, socSec = 0;
  char rateType;

  outData << "Employee Payroll\n" << endl;

  outData << setw(10) << "Employee" << setw(10) << "Hours" << " " 
	  << setw(10) << "Rate" << setw(10) << "Gross" << setw(10) << "Net"
       << setw(10) << "Fed"<< setw(10) <<  "State" << setw(10) << "Soc. Sec" << endl;
 
  flag = process_employee(empnum,emprate,emphours,inData);
  while(flag == 1)
  {
	
	  gross = (emprate * emphours);
	  rateType = ' ';

	  //$.15 bonus per hour for employees who work 35 hours or less
	  if(emphours <= 35)
	  {
		  gross +=  .15 * emphours;
		  rateType = '*';
	  }
	  
	  if(emphours > 40)
	  {
		  //add overtime on top of regular wage
			gross += (emprate * .5) * (emphours - 40);
			rateType = '$';
	  }

	  fed = FEDERAL_TAX * gross;
	  state = STATE_TAX * gross;
	  socSec = SOCSEC_TAX * gross;

	  paynet = gross - fed - state - socSec;

	  //add up totals
	  totalGP += gross;
	  totalNP += paynet;
	  totalFT += fed;
	  totalST += state;
	  totalSS += socSec;

	  //print statements here for individual 

	  outData <<  setw(10) << empnum << setw(10) << emphours << rateType 
	   << setw(10) << emprate << setw(10) << gross << setw(10) << paynet
       << setw(10) << fed << setw(10) <<  state << setw(10) << socSec << endl; 

      flag = process_employee(empnum,emprate,emphours,inData);

  }
}
		  
void print_summary(ofstream& outData, float& totalGP, float& totalNP, 
				  float& totalFT, float& totalST, float& totalSS)
{
  outData << "Summary-Totals for all employees\n" << endl;

  	  outData <<  setw(13) << "Gross Pay" << setw(13) << "Net Pay" << setw(13) 
	  << "Fedral Tax" << setw(13) << "State Tax" << setw(13) << "Social Security" 
	  << endl; 

	  outData <<  setw(13) << totalGP << setw(13) << totalNP << setw(13) 
	  << totalFT << setw(13) << totalST << setw(13) << totalSS
	  << endl; 
}

The input file looks like this:

1121 15.12 40
9876 9.50 47
3333 22.00 35
2585 12.24 32

First Row being emplyee numbers, Second Row being Pay Rate and THird Being Hours they worked.

*looks at Halo's post*

**Halo** · 10-20-2002

lol what is that supposed to mean ? Will you guys help pretty please w/ sugar on top

**BMJ** · 10-20-2002

*struggles to speak with noose around neck*

use...... code...... taaaaaaaaaaags................

**Halo** · 10-20-2002

Hehe use wa wa ? We havn't learned about those yet.... but please help me I need this to run on Borland tommarow. Me being me I thought any compiler is as good as another.... Which I found to be wrong today.

So nobody knows whats wrong ?

Easier to read than before! (although the formatting isn't perfect)

Halo, all I did was put the code between two tags: [ code ] and [ /code ] (without the space after the [ and before the ] )

**Halo** · 10-20-2002

Ahhh thanks man. I always wondered how to make the code tag :-)

[ code ]
Testing
[ /code ]

**Halo** · 10-20-2002

?

Okay what did I do wrong ?

No space in the [] maybe ?

**MethodMan** · 10-20-2002

Yes, no spaces, if he put spaces, then it would have formatted the text into code format, and you wouldnt see what the code tags look like

**Halo** · 10-20-2002

Okay I got the new it to work in borland and as it turns out my copy of borland was fuxxzored.... Anyhow can someone help me with the set precission command ? I do not know where to put this in the code to show only two decimal places....
