Developing Simple and More Complex Programs

In the previous module you wrote a simple RAPTOR program to let you input one employee’s data and compute some basic payroll information. Now expand on that program. Using RAPTOR make use of its built-in SELECTION and LOOP structures to let you flowchart the program and then run it. Spiral Development Plan This Payroll Program with Withholding will help a small business compute its weekly payroll print out the information for each paycheck and keep running totals on gross payroll as well as various withholding funds – taxes social security and pension. In to do that it will have to create some variables for those cumulative or running sums and each time it inputs computes and outputs an individual employee’s paycheck it will need to add those values to these accumulator variables. The wage rates tax rates wages etc. are all in a currency of your choice – just be consistent with the symbol you use the prompts you give the etc. But – all computations inputs and outputs will be in that base currency. No “currency exchange” needed here! “What kind of numbers?” For a start use floating point numbers (reals). Design Considerations Chapter two introduces the concept of a module as a stretch of code that you name define its work and then CALL it to use it when you need to. You may find this module approach makes designing the program easier. Even without it you’ll see that: The lazy/efficient programmer might study that indented bullet list convince themselves as to whether it is or is not a correct way to do this program and use it as a start on a pseudocode design for the program! But we’re doing this in RAPTOR… pseudocode is optional and if it helps you see what you have to do then you’re welcome to use it! Program

There is an “outer” flow (input the company-wide payroll rate information; initialize variables; etc.)then there’s a loop that:prompts for an employee ID number and if positive it:prompts for all the paycheck datacomputes the paycheckwrites that employee’s paycheck (outputs the data and)adds that employee’s gross wages tax withheld social security and pension withholding amounts to their respective accumulators;and when there are no more employees to write checks for it prints a report that says how many employees it wrote checks for the total amounts of the gross pay and withholding amountsand then stops. then there’s a loop that:prompts for an employee ID number and if positive it:prompts for all the paycheck datacomputes the paycheckwrites that employee’s paycheck (outputs the data and)adds that employee’s gross wages tax withheld social security and pension withholding amounts to their respective accumulators;and when there are no more employees to write checks for it prints a report that says how many employees it wrote checks for the total amounts of the gross pay and withholding amountsand then stops. prompts for an employee ID number and if positive it:prompts for all the paycheck datacomputes the paycheckwrites that employee’s paycheck (outputs the data and)adds that employee’s gross wages tax withheld social security and pension withholding amounts to their respective accumulators; prompts for all the paycheck data computes the paycheck writes that employee’s paycheck (outputs the data and) adds that employee’s gross wages tax withheld social security and pension withholding amounts to their respective accumulators; and when there are no more employees to write checks for it prints a report that says how many employees it wrote checks for the total amounts of the gross pay and withholding amounts and then stops. For each employee their name ID number hourly wage rate number of hours worked and the percentage of gross wages that they contribute to their pension plan each pay period. For all employees (input once at start of program) the income tax withholding rate the Social Security tax withholding rate. For each employee paycheck data consisting of name ID number wage rate number of regular time hours worked number of overtime hours worked (in excess of 40 hours) gross pay (including both regular pay for hours up to 40 and overtime at 1.5 times base pay rate for hours beyond 40 hours a week); income tax withheld (tax rate times gross pay); Social Security withheld (SS tax rate times gross pay); Contributions to Pension withheld (contribution rate times gross pay); Net pay (gross minus taxes and pension). After last employee: output the running (cumulative) totals of the gross pay income tax withheld social security tax withheld and pension contributions withheld. If you added up the three withholding amounts (tax social security pension) and subtracted that number from the gross payroll should it equal the total of all of the net pay that was paid to the employees across all of the paychecks? Why or why not? How should your program behave if the user puts in ridiculous values (such as an hourly wage rate of a million dollars and twelve cents)? Or a negative number for one of the withholding rates?
