Question

Hey, i was just wondering how i would calculate over time pay in c++ visual studio 2017? what i have right now is either returning 0 for some reason or being skipped over? im also wondering about the federal tax as well because that also doesn't seem to work, any help is greatly appreciated!

these are my variables

char chChoice = ' ';
int intempID = 0;
int intHours = 0;
int intOThours = 0;
float flOTrate = 0;
float flRate = 0;
float flGross = 0;
float flOTgross = 0;
float flGrosstotal = 0;
float flOASDI = 0.062;
float flMedicare = 0.0145;
float flFedtax = 0;
float flNet = 0;
double dblTotaltaxamount = 0;
float flTaxrate = 0;

int main()
{
   do
