need help

[cells]

It is obvious that I am new to c++, AnyWay Im combining two projects into one. I have questions about Switch structures, and nesting them with an if/else structure.

My program should compute employess weekly pay. Mangers have payCode1, hourlyWorkers payCode2, comissionWorkers payCode3, and pieceWorkers have payCode4; Mangers have a fixed income for (hours<=40) and hours(<40) gets paid 1.5"time and a half".
ComissionWorker get paid 250.00+5.7% of gross weeklysales, and pieceWorkers get paid fixed amount of money per items produce. Now I already have my program outputting my pay based on hours and overtime hours. Im haveing problems using a switch structure to give me pay based on paycode.

Here is what I have so for, please help me in this peaceful journey;

# include<stdio.h>
int main(void);{

int hours;
double rate, pay;
hours=0;

while(hours!=-1){
printf("hours(-1 to end):");
scanf("%d",&hours);

if(hours!=-1){
printf("rate");
scanf("%d",&rate);
if(hours>40){
pay= (40 * rate + ((hours - 40 * rate * 1.5)));
}
else
pay=hours*rate;
printf("gross pay is%f", grosspay);
}
}
return 0;
}

im not great with the whole printf scanf business so just convert my cout cins

cout << "Enter employee pay code: ";
cin >> int code;

switch (code)
{
case 1:              //insert code for paycode 1
                         break;

case 2:             //insert code for paycode 2
                        break;

case 3:            //insert code for paycode 3
                       break;

case 4:            //insert code for paycode 4
                       break;

default:           //insert code if they input something else besides 1-4
                       break;
}

}

Spacing is a little weird... otherwise thats right

switch(variable)
{
      case (number or SINGLE character) // this is like the variable == blank
            //code to run if this is true
            break;
      case (number or SINGLE character)
            //code to run if this is true
            break;
      default:      //if none of the case statements above were true, then this is run
            //code to run if no other case is true
            break;
}

Please use code tags: [ code ] and [ /code ] without the spaces

Also, you cannot run comparisons in a switch, its really just an == kind of thing.
