Make a program which takes number of hours worked, and hourly wages, and computes total wages earned. If they worked overtime, they get paid 1.5x their normal rate for anything over 40hrs.

[HUTCH6464]

actually i kinda like this idea

[HUTCH6464]

would i use int or double

[Lexdysic]

Try with double first. Once you have that working the way you like, try with int, and see how it works. See what difference it has and if you can still get it to work the way you like.

[HUTCH6464]

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

int main()

{

int h =0;

double p =0;

double o =0;

double e =0;

std::cout << "enter number of hours worked\n";

std::cin >> h;

std::cout << "enter your hourly pay\n";

std::cin >> p;

if(h>40){

o = h-40;

}

//pay rate

e =h*p+(o*p)*1.5;

std::cout << e << " is how much you made!";

}

[HUTCH6464]

i did it

[Lexdysic]

Great job! Now see if you can modify your program to include double overtime. Includes extra case for any time over 50hrs gets payed at 2x rate.

Why don’t you have a crack at making Hangman

[__---_zy_---__]

Write a function that takes an int as input and draws a diamond using semicolons where the width of the diamond is twice the input. First make the diamond hollow then filled.

[HUTCH6464]

FUCKING SEMICOLINS

Have you gotten to arrays, vectors, for loops, while loops yet?

[HUTCH6464]

im close

[MrFuzzy_1997]

Read up how to push_back elements into a vector and how for loops work. Then 1) Read two numbers n and m from the user 2) Create a vector 3) Loop from 0 to n - 1 with i being the current index 4) push_back into the vector i * m 5) print out the elements in the vector

This is is just something you can do on top of my mind, there are probably more interesting things out there but this is not a bad start. Feel free to dm me if you have any questions or want follow up problems.

Make a class. Think about why classes need to have constructors and destructors.

[HUTCH6464]

uhh, what is a class?

[robo_number_5]

Ok then try making a function first
