DaniWeb IT Discussion Community - AHHHH!! i cant figure this out.

i cant figure this out, here is what im suppose to do

Create a text file containing the pertinent information for the following table(not the identification row):

Employee No.        Department        Pay Rate        Exempt        Hours Worked           

101        41        8.11        Y           49           

722        32        7.22        N        40           

1273        23        5.43        Y        39           

2584        14        6.74        N        45

Write a C++ program to read the employee file as parallel arrays of employee data using arrays of int, doubles and chars.. Assume that the number of employee records you have to deal with is 4 and create a payroll output file with headers as shown in the following list. The output file is to contain the following data:

a. Employee number (left justified)
b. Department
c. Pay Rate
d. Exempt
e. Hours Worked
f. Base pay (pay rate * hours worked)
g. Overtime pay
h. Total pay

Overtime pay is calculated only for nonexempt employees. An employee is exempt if ‘Y’ appears in the exempt column. Overtime is paid at time-and-a-half for all hours worked over 40. If an exempt employee works over 40 hours, that employee is only paid for 40 hours of work.

MY CODE:

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

#include <string>

#include <fstream>



using namespace std;



#define cls   system("cls")

#define pause system("pause")



const int CHARS_ON_LINE = 80;



const int SIZE = 4;                // for number of employees



void displayInfo(int employee_num, int department, double payrate, char exempt, int hours, double basepay, double overtime, double total);

double calculatepay(double basepay, double total, double overtime, double payrate);





void main()

{

        double payrate;

        double basepay;

        double overtime;

        double total;



        int employee_num;

        int department;

        int hours;



        char exempt = ' ';





        ifstream inFile;



        ofstream outFile;

        

        

        calculatepay(payrate, basepay, overtime, total);

        displayInfo(employee_num, department, payrate, exempt, hours, basepay, overtime, total);



}



double calculatepay(double basepay, double total, double overtime, double payrate)

{

        string inFileName,

                   outFileName;



        int employee_num,            // employee number

                department,                // department

                hours;                        // hours worked



        char exempt;                                // for exempt



        ifstream fin("infileLab10.txt");



        fin >> employee_num;

        fin >> department;

        fin >> payrate;

        fin >> exempt;

        fin >> hours;





                           basepay = payrate * hours;

                           overtime = payrate + 1 / 2;

                return total = (overtime * hours > 40) + basepay;

        

}



void displayInfo(int employee_num, int department, double payrate, char exempt, int hours, double basepay, double overtime, double total)

{

        ofstream fout("outfileLab10.txt");

        

                fout << setw(15) << "Employee Number" << setw(15) << "Department" << setw(15) << "Pay Rate"

                         << setw(15) << "Exempt" << setw(15) << "Hours Worked" << setw(15) << "Base Pay" 

                         << setw(15) << "Overtime Pay" << setw(15) << "Total Pay" << endl;



                fout << left << setw(15) << employee_num << right;

                fout << setw(15) << department;

                fout << setw(15) << payrate;

                fout << setw(15) << exempt;

                fout << setw(15) << hours;

                fout << setw(15) << basepay;

                fout << setw(15) << overtime;

                fout << setw(15) << total;



                fout << fixed << setprecision(2);

}
