Homework 5 - Multidimensional Arrays

Due: Friday, November 14, 2008 at 5:00pm

Name your solution hw5.cpp. Unlike the prior assignments, there is only one program for this assignment. Email the file to my Helios account to submit it.

This program features a simple employee paycheck calculator. Multidimensional arrays will be used to store the employee names, their pay rate and how many hours they worked each day of the week. You will have the following arrays:

An array of C-strings to store the employee names. Each "row" is a single employee's name.
A 1D array to store the pay rate for each employee. Each element corresponds to a single employee's pay rate.
A 2D array to store the hours each employee worked each day of the week. Each row is 7 elements long (one element for each day of the week) and contains the hours worked by one employee.

The arrays should all be partially filled arrays for the number of "rows", but will have a fixed number of "columns" for the multidimensional arrays.

Use the following menu for the program:

  Welcome to the Employee Paycheck Calculator
  ===========================================
  1.  Add employee record(s) to the database
  2.  Print all employee records
  3.  Print the paycheck for one employee
  4.  Print paychecks for all employees

  0.  Exit
  ===========================================
  Enter selection:

Like Homework 3, your switch() statement in main() should call functions to do each task instead of doing the tasks in main(). The arrays should all be declared in main's scope and be passed to the functions. You will have the following functions:

add_employee - Takes all three arrays and a size variable. It will prompt the user for how many employees they wish to add and verify that the arrays can hold that number. Do NOT overwrite size while doing this. Instead, read into a temporary integer that will be added to size to append the employees to the arrays. After reading in the number of employees, prompt the user for the employee's name and read it with getline(). Then prompt for the pay rate (dollars/hour). Then prompt for the hours worked for each day of the week.

display_employees - Takes all three arrays and a size variable. Print out a record for each employee similar to the following:

Index  Name               Rate         M  Tu W  Th F  Sa Su
0      John Smith         10.50        8  8  8  8  8  0  0
1      Jane Doe           10.50        0  8  8  8  8  8  0
2      John Doe            8.90        0  8  8  8  8  8  0

print_paycheck - Takes all three arrays and a subscript for the employee whose paycheck needs printing. Prints a paycheck similar to the following:
```
Employee: John Doe    Rate: 8.90   Weekly Pay:  356
```
print_all_paychecks - Takes all three arrays and a size variable. It will call print_paycheck() for each employee in the arrays.

You may add additional functions if you desire.
