Lab 3.2 — PicoSoft Damage Control (Approval)
That last idea at PicoSoft didn't work out too well … management has a massive public relations disaster on their hands,
and thus they decide to revise the bonus structure, as well as give eveyone some additional vacation time.
Write a program that reads in (from the keyboard) the following information about an employee:
- Last name
- First name
- Years worked (a whole number)
- Annual salary
An employee's vacation time is based upon the following table:
| Years worked
| Weeks of vacation
|
| 0-3 | 1
|
| 4-6 | 2
|
| 7 or more | 3
|
Bonuses are determined by the following table:
| Years worked
| Bonus
|
| 0-4 | None
|
| 5-9 | $200
|
| 10 or more | 5% of annual salary
|
Your program should read in the information for an employee, calculate the vacation time and bonus
amount for the employee, and display the employee's name, number of years worked, number of weeks of vacation
and amount of bonus (on a single line). Please note that you are to print the actual amount of the bonus (calculated as
5% of the annual salary), and not simply the words 5% of salary".
This should be done for eight (8) employee (using a for loop).

This exercise is simply scaling things up as bit — in particular the conditions are a bit more challenging, and there are several of them
Lab 3.3 — Monkey in the Middle (Optional)
The
median of a set of numbers is that number that falls into the middle when the numbers
are in order. Thus the median of the numbers 12 19 4 24 27 84 6 is 19 (4 6 12
19 24 27 84).
In particular the median of a set of three numbers if the number that falls in the middle, i.e., neither the minimum nor the
maximum.
We presented in class a somewhat intricate method to calculate the maximum of three values, involving nested
if/else statements (Program 3.3). Using the same approach (i.e.,nested if/else's enumerating all the possibilities)
write a program that prompts for three integers and prints their median.
Though this exercise is optional, it is worth spending a bit of time on — it will help you appreciate the alternative
methods.
Sample Test Run
Enter first number:
1
Enter second number:
2
Enter third number:
3
The median is: 2
The problem stated in this exercise — finding the median, is a classic, and at first appears to be similar to the minimum/maximum
problems. The purpose of this exercise — other than presenting you with an interesting problem, and more coding pratice, is to show you that
sometimes similar (even closely related) problems, sometimes require different approaches.
