Question

3 write a program to prompt the user for hours and rate per hour using raw_input to compute gross pay. use 35 hours and a rate of 2.75 per hour to test the program (the pay should be 96.25). you should use raw_input to read a string and float() to convert the string to a number. do not worry about error checking or bad user data.

Answer 1

JAVA programming was employed...

//IMPORT STATEMENT
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Payroll
{
  //VARIABLE DECLARATION
  double grossPay, hoursWorked, payRate;
  
  //INPUT STATEMENT
  hoursWorked = Double.paseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(Please   enter your hours worked.));
  payRate = Double.paseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(Please enter   the pay rate per hour.));
 
  //PROCESS STATEMENT
  grossPay = hoursWorked * payRate;
 
   //OUTPUT STATEMENT
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, grossPay);
}//End of class Payroll

In this program, we declared variables grossPay, hoursWorked, and payRate to double so that the user can input figures with decimal. Since the inputs have decimal, the output which is grossPay will come out with decimal.

But note that inputting numbers doesn't mean that they will be processed as double automatically! For the inputted values to become double, it is important to parse them first that is why the line "hoursWorked = Double.paseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(Please   enter your hours worked.));" and line "payRate = Double.paseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(Please enter   the pay rate per hour.));" were used.
