Trying to get data for 5 employees with this loop. Thanks. I think it's going as it should now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx>

John, 1 thing is you've got clock as an int but you've got print %f, which means print a float-u need 2 change that to %d. I think I'd also use clock++ rather than ++clock. Also, u don't have any braces w/these for loops. In other words, what's gonna happen is that u get the loops 2 iterate but each time u do it you're overwriting the value of the variables of the iteration b4. I'm not really sure what this code is supposed to accomplish, e.g. I can't figure out if you're trying to get data for 5 employees, for 1 employee, or what. My advice is that u write some pseudocode b4 actually diving in2 the programming. For example, pseudocode for 1 employee for a 5-day work week would llook something like this: get employee number (u should only need it once) get gross wage (unless it varies, which is unlikely, u should only need that once, too) start loop for each day (1-5) { get hours worked multiply hours by wage add it to wage total } end loop print employee number earned wage total So, if your code is trying 2 accomplish what I think it is, u really only need 1 for loop. Do your pseudocode prior 2 programming & I think you'll b able 2 get a much better idea of how 2 proceed w/code writing.
