Pseudocode and clueless

[Juliet Bravo]

Hi all

I have been given an assignment to complete in pseudocode with a flow chart:

Employee Payroll Problem

Compute pay for an employee, the input will be:

Name of employee Emp_Nme
Employee number Emp_No
Hours worked Hrs_wkd
Hourly rate Hrly_rte

Normal working hours are 40, Overtime pay is 1.5 x hourly rate.
______________________________________________________________

The problem I am facing involves the IF statement,

I am using:

Tot_pay for total pay
OTH for overtime hours
STD_Pay for standard pay


can I do this:

IF Hours worked <=40
THEN
Tot_Pay = Hrs_wkd * Hrly_rte
ELSE
OTH = Hrs_wkd -40
STD_pay = Hrly_rte * 40
OTP = OTH(Hrly_rte * 1.5)
Tot_Pay = STD_pay + OTP


can I put four items under the ELSE statement??
Any suggestions ?

Java allows the use of braces to put more than one statement in a block. Still pseudo code, but answers your question...

if (Hours worked <=40) {
           Tot_Pay = Hrs_wkd * Hrly_rte
} else {
           OTH = Hrs_wkd -40
           STD_pay = Hrly_rte * 40
           OTP = OTH(Hrly_rte * 1.5)
           Tot_Pay = STD_pay + OTP
}
