Hello John,
Let me tell you this: when you look at a hard programming task as if
it was a person and it was your enemy the probability of comming with
the solution is smaller. Try to look at it as if you did not deppend
on that, if you get frustrated of thinking and going to aparent noware
then go take a break, and back again to it latter. Don't start
thinking that you're likely to fail or that you don't like to have all
the work to try it again and again ... It may appear a joke, but it
does make the difference if you get yourself in a relaxed stat so you
can consentrate more on your problem and less in your fears and
frustrations ...
This said, I'll ask you to explain me what you're trying to do,
because I can not see what is the problem here.
I didn't try to compile your code but the sintax seen ok ... so what
is the problem?

Hi everyone.
Here we go again, now, where I should be at with this program is, a
program
that will figure out the wages for 5 employees, and now adding an if
statement to figure out overtime. I've been working on this for 2 days
and
this is what the code ends up looking like, I can make it work if I
change
it to do the wrong thing, but when it comes time to get it right, I
can't
make it work and I'm at a complete loss. If I do it with different
math,
just make it add a few things with the same coding, that works so I
knwo I'm
on the right track, but when it comes to doing the finished project,
I'm
missing something. I had to stop yesterday for the second worst
headache
I've ever had in my life, seems like I get those headaches every time
I work
on this junk but I need the class.
(begin code(
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
int clock;
/* clock number */
float gross;
/* gross pay */
float hours;
/* hours worked */
float wage;
/* hourly wage */
{
int i;
/* Prompt for employee information */
for (i = 0; i <=5; ++i)
printf("enter your employee number: ");
scanf_s("%d", &clock);
printf("Enter the wage: ");
scanf_s("%f", &wage);
printf("Enter number of hours worked: ");
scanf_s("%f", &hours);
} /* end for */
/* attempting if statement for overtime*/
if ( hours > 40 )
/* calculate gross pay */
gross = wage * hours + 0.5 (hours - 40);
else gross = wage * hours;
/* print out employee information to the screen */
printf
("\t----------------------------------------------------------\n");
printf ("\tClock# Wage Hours Gross\n");
printf
("\t----------------------------------------------------------\n");
printf ("\t%06i %5.2f %5.1f %7.2f\n",clock,wage,hours,gross);
printf("This employee worked %f hours with a per-hour basis of %f.\n",
hours, wage);
printf(" gross pay is %f.\n", gross);
return 0;
}
*end code
