Can anyone in any possible way please help me with this basic C code. I will admit that this is homework, but it is late. I got caught up and stuck with trying to learn arrays, now I am stuck. I just need to get this assignment done, I will just read to catch up and do the future assignments myself. I am taking a six week summer course in C.
Write a method that prompts the user for hours worked, rate and name. Use parameter passing, and pass by reference.

here is the assignemt and the code as I have written it so far. Please make the following changes:



Write a method that calculates the gross, base and overtime pay, pass by reference.



Write a method that calculates tax, taking as input the gross pay, returning the tax owed.



Calculate the total amount paid (gross pay) for all 5 people. Use the return value from the method that calculates the gross pay.



Write a print method that generates the output, including the total amount paid, in addition to the data for each employee.





#include




main()




{

char name[25];

float rate = 0;

float hours = 0;

float basePay = 0;

float overTime = 0;

float grossPay = 0;

float netPay = 0;

int i;




for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) {




printf("\nWhat is your name? ");

scanf("%s", &name);

printf("\nHow much is your hourly pay? ");

scanf("%f", &rate);

printf("\nHow many hours did you work this week? ");

scanf("%f", &hours);




basePay = rate * hours;

grossPay = rate * 40 + (basePay - overTime);

overTime = (basePay - (1.5 * rate));

netPay = grossPay - (0.20 * grossPay);

if (hours > 40){

printf("\nPay for %s\n", name);

printf("\nHourly rate:\t $%.2f\n", rate);

printf("\nHours worked:\t $%.2f\n", hours);

printf("\nGross pay:\t $%.2f\n", grossPay);

printf("\nTaxes paid:\t $%.2f\n", 0.20 * grossPay);

printf("\nBase pay:\t $%.2f\n", basePay);

printf("\nOvertime pay:\t $%.2f\n", overTime);

printf("\nNet pay:\t $%.2f\n", netPay);




}

else {

printf("\nPay for %s\n", name);

printf("\nHourly rate:\t $%.2f\n", rate);

printf("\nHours worked:\t $%.2f\n", hours);

printf("\nGross pay:\t $%.2f\n", basePay);

printf("\nTaxes paid:\t $%.2f\n", 0.20 * basePay);

printf("\nBase pay:\t $%.2f\n", basePay);

printf("\nOvertime pay:\t $0.00\n");

printf("\nNet pay:\t $%.2f\n", basePay -(basePay * 0.20));





}

Do us a favor and edit your post, putting the code in 'code' tags.

It will make cutting and pasting easier and increase readability.

click edit on your post,
click 'Go Advanced'
Highlight your code,
click the '#' button at the top of the editor.

That should do it.
