I Objectives
•Demonstrate your ability to read data from the user of your program
•Show the usage of a while repetition structure with a sentinel value
•Use a multiple selection structure to sort out different cases
II Hand-in Requirements
All laboratories will be submitted electronically through WebCT. Zip up your entire project folder to submit as the
source. (Right click on the laboratory folder and follow the SentTo link.)
III Details
A company pays its employees as managers (who receive a fixed weekly salary), hourly workers (who receive a fixed
hourly wage for up to the first 40 hours they work and “time-and-a-half”— i.e., 1.5 times their hourly wage — for
overtime hours worked), commission workers (who receive $250 plus 5.7% of their gross weekly sales), or pieceworkers
(who receive a fixed amount of money for each of the items they produce — each pieceworker in this company works
on only one type of item). Write a program to compute the weekly pay for each employee. You do not know the
number of employees in advance. Each type of employee has its own pay code: Managers have paycode 1, hourly
workers have code 2, commission workers have code 3 and pieceworkers have code 4. Use a switch to compute each
employee’s pay based on that employee’s paycode. Within the switch, prompt the user (i.e., the payroll clerk) to
enter the appropriate facts your program needs to calculate each employee’s pay based on that employee’s paycode.
IV Setup
1. Pro ject name: Lab3
2. Solution name: MyCPrograms
3. Create a new source with name: main.c
4. Save the source
5. Compile and run the program.
V Coding
1. Write a main function shell just like the Hello World project.
2. Write down comments whenever applicable.
3. Declare the following variables:
int payCode; /* current employee’s pay code */
int managers = 0; /* total number of managers */
int hWorkers = 0; /* total number of hourly workers */
int cWorkers = 0; /* total number of commission workers */
