OK, I thought of that just before getting this email and did that, looks like the only error left is a fatal one about a brace before the end of the file or something, I'm guessing I have the bracing wrong but I don't see it, looks like for every opening brace I have a closing one but I'm closer and I like this way better actually if I can get rid of this error. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx>

That is a variable declaration. U failed 2 declare those variables u just added to your program. On 10/3/07, John Miller <n1umj@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
The "overtime = 40" line is declaring the variable isn't it? That's what I thought. Which way would you do it? I can get the first way I was doing it to work,but with the warning I posted a while ago and after that it works but comesup with a total that's slightly off. Or this way where that is the problem as well as, I think the same warning. I'd have to try it again to see if it's the same warning or not. There was a fatal error in there too but I think that was something about the braces, very likely that will be fixed when the rest of it's fixed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Slack" <m.g.slack@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 5:10 PM Subject: Re: More C programming help > Hi John, >> The change in formula which you are trying is not strictly necessary, > but> bear in mind that for the c language, *ANY* variables you use *MUST* be > declared first. > > hth > > Martin > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John Miller" <n1umj@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 9:30 PM > Subject: Re: More C programming help > > >>I tried that and over time and overtime pay undeclared variables is the >>error it likes to torture me with now. >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "TJ McElroy" <raider.59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 1:48 PM >> Subject: Re: More C programming help >> >> >>> Your problem: >>> >>>> gross = wage * hours + 0.5 (hours - 40); >>> >>> for some reason, the compiler doesn't like it. >>> >>> *** >>> The compiler does not like it, because it thinks that >>> 0.5 (hours - 40); >>> >>> is a function call. >>> >>> Try breaking the if statement into two statements >>> >>> if ( hours > 40 ) { >>> overTime = hours - 40; >>> overTimePay = .05 * overTime; >>> gross = wage * hours + overTimePay; >>> } else { >>> gross = wage * hours; >>> } >>> >>> *** >>> also by not having this if statement inside the for loop, >>> it will calculate all of the employees time, not >>> each individual employee. >>> >>> hth >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> ----- Original Message ----- >>> From: "John Miller" <n1umj@xxxxxxxxxxx> >>> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 12:10 PM >>> Subject: Re: More C programming help >>> >>> >>>> Well, the what the program should do is there, but the line that is >>>> >>>>> gross = wage * hours + 0.5 (hours - 40); >>>> >>>> for some reason, the compiler doesn't like it. >>>> error is >>>> Error 1 error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking -22 >>>> arguments >>>> >>>> I usually do walk away for a bit when I get frustrated but it's the >>>> headaches I get after going back a few times that are really starting>>>> to concern me.
