AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a C# programming assignment that requires calculating a user's gross wage based on hours worked and an hourly rate, with overtime pay for hours exceeding 40. Additionally, it aims to compute the equivalent wages for individuals in Bangladesh, China, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. A key issue raised is that the functions for calculating wages in other countries are not working because they are being called with a value of zero instead of the actual hours worked. The solution involves passing the correct hours variable to the respective functions for accurate calculations. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of correctly passing parameters in function calls for expected outcomes.

Homework Statement


Have to write a program that outputs the users gross wage. If the hours are over 40 then the hourly rate gets multiplied by 1.5.

We also have to output the salary people would get from different countries:

Bangladesh 0.15 cents
China 0.48 cents
Dominican Republic 1.60 dollars
Haiti 0.55 cents

This is all on c#.

The Attempt at a Solution


Mod note: Added code tags
C:
static void Main(string[] args)
  {

  double dblHrsWorked = 0;
  double dblHrlyRate = 0;
  double grossWageBan = 0;
  double grossWageChi = 0;

  Console.Write("Please enter the hours worked: ");
  dblHrsWorked = double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

  Console.WriteLine("Please enter the hourly rate($): ");
  dblHrlyRate = double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

  Console.WriteLine("You make a total of " + (GrossWage(dblHrsWorked, dblHrlyRate)) + " dollars.");

  Console.WriteLine("People in the following countries make this amount of money: Bangladesh: " + (GrossWageBangladesh(grossWageBan)) + " dollars, China: " + (GrossWageChina(grossWageChi)) +" dollars.");

  Console.ReadKey();
  }  static double GrossWage (double hours, double rate)
  {

  double dblGrossWage = 0;

  if (hours > 40)
  {
  dblGrossWage = 40 * rate;

  dblGrossWage = dblGrossWage + ((hours - 40) * (rate * 1.5));

  }

  else
  {

  dblGrossWage = hours * rate;
  }

  return dblGrossWage;  }

  static double GrossWageBangladesh (double hours)
  {

  double dblBanGrossWage = 0;

  dblBanGrossWage = hours * 0.15;

  return dblBanGrossWage;

  }

  static double GrossWageChina(double hours)
  {

  double dblChinaGrossWage = 0;

  dblChinaGrossWage = hours * 0.48;

  return dblChinaGrossWage;

  }
  }
  }

I can't seem to figure out why the countries are not working can someone please Help me figure it out!

When you call your GrossWageBan() and GrossWageChi() methods, you are passing a value of 0 for hours to each method. You should be passing the number of hours in the calls to these methods, not grossWageBan and grossWageChi. These two variables are initialized to zero.
