Function Practice Exercise: Employee Pay

The goal of this exercise is to practice writing C++ functions by writing program that calculates the pay for an employee. This program will prompt for and read a pay rate and number of hours worked from the user. It will then echo the input information and output the calculated pay.

What to Do

• Add code to template file ex2_calcPay.cpp in the replit team project or create it in your IDE.
• write a void function, called getData(), which takes two arguments and reads the pay rate and the number of hours worked.
• write a value returning function, called calcPay(), which takes two arguments and returns the total pay for that employee.
• write a void function, called printPay(), which takes three arguments and prints the input information and the calculated total pay.
• make use of parameters and returns to pass information around, do not use global variables.
• The sample output for the program should looks like the following:
  This program calculates total pay for an employee.
  please enter pay rate per hour: 15.66
  Please enter hours worked: 200.5
  For an employee who worked 200.5 hours with a pay rate $ 15.66 per hour,
  The total pay is $ 3139.83.
  Press any key to continue . . .
  

When you are done:

• Take a screenshot of your IDE and console window after compiling and then running the program twice. The inputs that you can use are:
1. the pay rate and monthly hours of a job you expect to get soon
2. the pay rate and monthly hours of your dream job
• For this exercise, you will have: ex2_calcPay.cpp.
• If you have completed Exercises 1 and 2, congratulations! Option 1 is complete! Please download a zip file from replit and upload it to URCourses.
