Question

I have a coding assignment where I have a set spending budget that needs to ideally be brought as close to 0 as possible, that will be solely spent on funding employee wages. The only thing that is changeable is the amount of hours logged per employee; the employee hourly pay must be assigned to each employee prior to calculation. The employee list must be a constant, as well as the budget, but the coding algorithm must be volatile enough to work with different numbers (such as number of employees/work rates/ etc.). Additionally, the hours worked can only be in half-hour increments (0.5, 1, 1.5, etc.).

Preferably, would like to use Matlab, C/C++, or Python, but other HLL languages are fine too.  

Answer 1

CODE:

spending_budget=1800
emp=['emp1','emp2','emp3']
hourly_wages=[50,60,70]

while (spending_budget>70) :
spending_budget=1800
x=int(input("Enter no of hours worked by employee1 \n"))
y=int(input("Enter no of hours worked by employee2 \n"))
z=int(input("Enter no of hours worked by employee3 \n"))
spending_budget=spending_budget-((50*x)+(60*y)+(70*z))
  
if spending_budget>70:
print("The budget is not yet exhausted. Employees should work more no of hours\n\n")
if spending_budget>0 or spending_budget<70:
print("The budget left is "+ str(spending_budget))
if spending_budget<0:
print("The budget is exhausted. Employees should work less no of hours")
