Hello I am having trouble calling my addsomethingup() function. It keeps saying too few arguments in the function call. Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong. I also can only get part of the output to work. I thought it was because of not calling the add fucntion.. Thanks in advance. :)

well , i'm also learning about oop concept in c++(please correct me , if i'm wrong).
here you're making a mistake while calling Addsomethingup(); because it requires 3 arguments of EmployeeClass .

you'll get an error even if you pass Employ1,Employ2,Employ3 because you're calling AddSomethingup() in DisplayEmployInformation() that doesn't recognize Employ1,Employ2,Employ3 becuase their scope is limited to main function only.Therefore either declare them as global.

one more problem in your code is that in ImplementCalculations function there is wage variable of type double and you're passing wage parameter which is float. therefore either change float to double or change its datatype in parameter list.

after implementation these little modification , your code looks like this :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
//using std::cout;
//

Hello and thank you for your help but when I change the members in the function call addsomethingup(Employ1,Employ2,Employ3) I get an error saying that Employ1 ect are undefined... I am not sure what I can do now.

did you make them global ?
then call Addsomethingup(Employ1,Employ2,Employ3); .

did you try the code what i posted ?
that's all what i can do. I don't see any other error.

I did and now it is compiling but not the right way lol.. Here is a sample of the output wanted..

Sample output:

Welcome to the Employee Pay Center

Enter the employee name = John
Enter the hours worked = 44
Enter his or her hourly wage = 3.33

Enter the employee name = Mary
Enter the hours worked = 33
Enter his or her hourly wage = 2.22

Enter the employee name = Mark
Enter the hours worked = 29
Enter his or her hourly wage = 2.22

Employee Name ............. = John
Base Pay .................. = 133.20
Hours in Overtime ......... = 4
Overtime Pay Amount........ = 19.98
Total Pay ................. = 153.18

Employee Name ............. = Mary
Base Pay .................. = 73.26
Hours in Overtime ......... = 0
Overtime Pay Amount........ = 0.00
Total Pay ................. = 73.26

Employee Name ............. = Mark
Base Pay .................. = 64.38
Hours in Overtime ......... = 0
Overtime Pay Amount........ = 0.00
Total Pay ................. = 64.38

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%% EMPLOYEE SUMMARY DATA%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%% Total Employee Salaries ..... = 290.82
%%%% Total Employee Hours ........ = 106
%%%% Total Overtime Hours......... = 4
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

This is the output I am getting now

Welcome to the Employee Pay Center

Enter the first employee's name = John

Enter the hours worked = 44

Enter his or her hourly wage = 3.33

Enter the second employee's name = Mary

Enter the hours worked = 33

Press any key to continue . . .

as i already said that i'm learning oop concept in c++ therefore i couldn't tell the better solution . I think there may exist something by which Addsomethingup is called for once and last only.

So , i can suggest that seperate Addsomethingup from the class and seperate the variables too that this function uses , therefore delcare these variables as global.

anyways , try this for the desired output :

hope somebody could give suggestion so that the output can be obtained without making the variable global and without sperating the function from the class.

Thank you very much for the help :). Now if there is anyone out there that can do as suggested above please help me. Thanks

Please if there is someone out there that can help me figure out how to get the desired output.

just try the code which i put in my last post. it'll produce the desired output.
yeah , you can ask for better solution.

Thank you hun :). Can you explain why we did that? I am confused.

you can try this too :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
//using std::cout;
//
//CLASS DECLARATION SECTION
//
