Question

This C++ program will not let me put numbers in on address, just characters #include using namespace std; float paycalc(){ cout<<"Enter 1 if salary and 2 if hourly: "; int choice, hoursWorked, payrate; float salary; cin>>choice; if(choice == 1){ cout<<"Enter your salary per month: "; cin>>salary; }else{ cout<<"Enter hours worked: "; cin>>hoursWorked; cout<<"Enter pay rate: "; cin>>payrate; salary = hoursWorked * payrate; } return salary; } void printCheck(float sal, int id, char address[30]){ cout<<"Employee id: "<>id; cout<<"Enter address: "; char address[30]; cin>>address; printCheck(paycalc(), id, address); }

Answer 1

Your program looks broken and contains some errors, especially the printCheck method is defined very wrongly. So according to my understanding, you want to write a program that reads employee id, address and calculate the salary and then display details. So here is the fixed code for this. Comments are included, go through it, learn how things work and let me know if you have any doubts or if you need anything to change. If you are satisfied with the solution, please rate the answer. Thanks

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

float paycalc(){

                cout<<"Enter 1 if salary and 2 if hourly: ";

                int choice, hoursWorked, payrate;

                float salary;

                cin>>choice;

                if(choice == 1){

                                cout<<"Enter your salary per month: ";

                                cin>>salary;

                }else{

                                cout<<"Enter hours worked: ";

                                cin>>hoursWorked;

                                cout<<"Enter pay rate: ";

                                cin>>payrate;

                                salary = hoursWorked * payrate;

                }

                return salary;

}

//method to print check

void printCheck(float sal, int id, string address){

                //displaying employee id, address and salary

                cout<<"Employee id: "<<id<<endl;

                cout<<"Address: "<<address<<endl;

                cout<<"Salary: $"<<sal<<endl;

}

int main(){

                //defining variables

                int id;

                float salary;

                string address;

                //getting employee id

                cout<<"Enter Employee id: ";

                cin>>id;

               

                //prompting for address

                cout<<"Enter address: ";

                //now this is a bit tricky. if you use cin>>address, it will fetch the contents

                //upto the first white space (if you enter hello world, it will fetch only hello).

                //for this, we use getline method, which reads a line of text from console (stops

                //when a newline character is detected). but there is a catch. if you are reading

                //integers using cin>>number the newline

                //character after typing the enter key will remain in the buffer, which will be

                //read by the getline method, and the further input will be skipped, so we should

                //clear the newline character from buffer, which is done by fflush(stdin)

                fflush(stdin);

                //now reading a line of text from input

                getline(cin, address);

                //finding salary, displaying all info

                salary=paycalc();

                printCheck(salary,id,address);

                return 0;

}

/*OUTPUT*/

Enter Employee id: 123

Enter address: XYZ building, Transylvania

Enter 1 if salary and 2 if hourly: 2

Enter hours worked: 42

Enter pay rate: 25.50

Employee id: 123

Address: XYZ building, Transylvania

Salary: $1050
