Help with problem I cannot figure out

[itgrowsind]

I just started c# and I am having trouble with the (get; set;) the program I am trying to work on is employee class that has two objects of two employee's with both having a string first name and string last name. With a monthly wage for both employee's could someone help me out. The names of employee's the user has to enter them.

Can you provide some example code of where you dont understand/are having trouble with :)

using System;

  public class Employee
    {
        private string name;
        private double wage;

      public string Name
        {
            get { return name; }
            set { name = value; }
        }

      public double Wage
      {
          get { return wage; }
          set { if(value<-0.0)
                wage = value; }

      }

  }


  using System;

public class TestEmployee
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Employee e1 = new Employee();
        e1.Name = "Michael";

        Console.WriteLine("Employee first name: {0}", e1.Name);

        Employee e2 = new Employee();
        e2.Name = "Gutierrez";

        Console.WriteLine("Employee last name: {0}", e2.Name);

        Employee w1 = new Employee();
        w1.Wage = 3500.00;

        Console.WriteLine("Employee one monthly salary is: {0}", w1.Wage);

        double ywage = 12 * 3500;

        Console.WriteLine("Employee one Year salary is: {0}", ywage);
        Console.WriteLine("\n\n\n");

        Employee e3 = new Employee();
        e3.Name = "Marissa";

        Console.WriteLine("Employee two first name: {0}", e3.Name);

        Employee e4 = new Employee();
        e4.Name = "Gallegos";

        Console.WriteLine("Employee last name: {0}", e4.Name);

        Employee w2 = new Employee();
        w2.Wage = 4000.00;

        Console.WriteLine("Employee two monthly salary is: {0}", w2.Wage);

        double ywage1 = 12 * 4000;

        Console.WriteLine("Employee two Year salary is: {0}", ywage1);
    }
}

I am not sure if I am doing it correct but that is what I have so far. Here are the instructions:Create a class called Employee that includes three pieces of information as instance variables — a first name (type string), a last name (type string) and a monthly salary (decimal). Your class should have a constructor that initializes the three values. Provide a property with a get and set accessor for any instance variables. If the monthly salary is negative, the set accessor should leave the instance variable unchanged. Write a test application named EmployeeTest that demonstrates class Employee’s capabilities. Create two Employee objects and display each object’s yearly salary. Then give each Employee a 10% raise and display each Employee’s yearly salary again.

Your class doesn't currently contain what is asked for, nor contain a constructor, they are looking for the following:

public class Employee
{
    private string firstName;
    private string lastName;
    private double wage;

    public Employee (string FName, string LName, double WageGiven) //The constructor
    {
        FirstName = FName;
        LastName = LName;
        Wage = WageGiven;
    }

    public string FirstName
    {
        get { return firstName; }
        set { firstName = value; }
    }

    public string LastName
    {
        get { return lastName; }
        set { lastName = value; }
    }

    public double Wage
    {
        get { return wage; }
        set { if(value >= 0.0) { wage = value; } } //Your value checking was wrong here
    }
}

Which you can then implement in the following way:

//Create the employees using the new constructors we have
Employee EmpOne = new Employee("Joe", "Bloggs", 1000);
Employee EmpTwo = new Employee("Jimi", "Hendrix", 2000);
Employee EmpThree = new Employee("Calvin", "Harris", -100); //Nothing should happen in terms of wage for this guy

//Show Wages
Console.WriteLine("Wages: EmployeeOne-£{0}, EmployeeTwo-£{1}, EmployeeThree-£{2}", EmpOne.Wage, EmpTwo.Wage, EmpThree.Wage);

//Increase Wages
EmpOne.Wage = EmpOne.Wage * 1.10;
EmpTwo.Wage = EmpTwo.Wage * 1.10;
EmpThree.Wage = EmpThree.Wage * 1.10;

//Show New Wages
Console.WriteLine("Wages: EmployeeOne-£{0}, EmployeeTwo-£{1}, EmployeeThree-£{2}", EmpOne.Wage, EmpTwo.Wage, EmpThree.Wage);

Hope that helps :)
