Question

Hourly workers are paid at their regular pay rate for their first 40 hours worked each week. Any hours beyond that are considered overtime, and they get paid "time-and-a-half" for those hours (1-1/2 times their regular pay rate).

For example, if a worker normally makes $12.00 per hour and has worked 45 hours in the past week, the pay is computed as follows: 40 times $12 for the "regular" hours is $480. The extra 5 hours is overtime and is paid at $18 per hour ($12 times 1.5 is $18). The "overtime pay" is 5 times $18, which is $90. Total pay would then be $480 + 90, which is $570.

Step1: Write a java program in Eclipse that will ask the user for a worker's pay rate and the number of hours worked this week. Print on the screen the number of overtime hours, how much regular pay the worker should receive, how much overtime pay, and the total pay for this week.

Step 2: Add comment statements from beginning to end.

Step3: Compile and test your program. Make sure it works properly and gives the correct answers for different inputs. TAKE SCREENSHOT OF 2 different values of OUTPUT

Your program should have

1. Do while loop,           2. Atleast one method              3. Output with rounded values.

Here's a sample run of the program:

What is the pay rate? 9.50

How many hours worked this week? 42

You have worked 2 hours of overtime,

Regular pay is $380.00

Overtime pay is $28.50

Total pay is $408.50

Do you want to calculate for another set of hours? Press Y or N Y

What is the pay rate? 12.50

How many hours worked this week? 32

You have worked 0 hours of overtime

Regular pay is $400.00

Overtime pay is $0.00

Total pay is $400.00

Do you want to calculate for another set of hours? Press Y or N n

As per your requiremetnt, here is the Java code:

Rawcode:

//importing required packages
import java.util.*;
import java.math.RoundingMode;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
//creating a class
public class HourlyPayRate {
   //main function
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
       //declaring variables
       double payRate;
       int noOfHours;
       char choice;
       //creating a scanner class
       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
       //starting of so while loop this will run till user enters y or Y
       do
       {
           //asking user to enter pay rate
           System.out.printf("What is the pay rate? ");
           //reading input from user
           payRate = input.nextDouble();
           //asking user to enter number of hours he worked
           System.out.printf("How many hours worked this week? ");
           //reading input from user
           noOfHours = input.nextInt();
           //calling function to calculate and print the regular pay, overtime pay and total pay
           calculateTotalPayrate(payRate, noOfHours);
           //asking user to enter a character of Y to continue or N to exit the program
           System.out.printf("Do you want to calculate for another set of hours? Press Y or N ");
           //reading a character from user
           choice = input.next().charAt(0);
       }while(choice == 'y' || choice == 'Y');
   }
   //function to calculate and print the regular pay, overtime pay and total pay
   public static void calculateTotalPayrate(double payRate, double noOfHours) {
       //declaring variables
       double regularPay, overtimePay, totalPay;
       //checking if number of hours is less than 40
       if(noOfHours <= 40) {
           //if it is less than 40 then calculating regular pay that is payrate times of number of hours
           regularPay = (double) noOfHours * payRate;
           //so there is no overtime pay then set it to 0
           overtimePay = 0.00;
       }
       //if number of hours is greater than 40
       else {
           //then calculating regular pay for first 40 hours
           regularPay = (double) (40 * payRate);
           //and calculating the overtime pay for remaining hours
           overtimePay = (double) ((noOfHours - 40) * (payRate * 1.5));
       }
       //calculating total pay by adding regular pay and overtime pay
       totalPay = regularPay + overtimePay;
       //creating decimal format object to print upto 2 decimal places
       DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
       //rounding the last of digit of decimal point
       df.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.CEILING);
       //printing regular pay
       System.out.println("Regular pay is $" + df.format(regularPay));
       //printing overtime pay
       System.out.println("Overtime pay is $" + df.format(overtimePay));
       //printing total pay
       System.out.println("Total pay is $" + df.format(totalPay));
   }
}
