Help with this program.

Paul50002 (11)
Hello I've been having to work and rework this program for weeks. I am wondering if someone cn look at and help.It will be appreciated. Here is the assignmentment info.

PART B: Rewrite Lab 4 (Pay Calculation Program)
Add these functions:

Function Name: display( )
Arguments: None
Return Value: None
Prototype: void display(void);
Action: Display name and lab number
Function Name: code_not_valid( )
Arguments: pay code (a char)
Return Value: true, if bad code; false, if good code
Prototype: bool code_not_valid(char);
Action: Use do/while loop in main to enter pay code
Test T/F value returned by function to see if another iteration is necessary
Function Name: get_pay( )
Arguments: pay code and hours (pass by value) and pay rate (pass by reference)
Return Value: pay
Prototype: double get_pay(char, double, double &)
Action: Determine pay rate and calculate pay. (Both decision constructs are in this function)

Program Interaction:

These are the inputs and the expected outputs.
Anywhere you see ???? requires your program to output some value.

What are you expecting the program to do, and what is it actually doing? Or not doing?
deleted account xyzzy (5768)
I copy'n'paste your code into Visual Studio and I get a nice list of errors. What look to be C style multi-line comments that are not is one of the biggie mistakes. Lines 69-74, lines 82-88 and lines 101-106.

FYI, C style multi-line comments begin with /* and end with */.

line 94, what is the test condition of the if statement? Can't be blank.

Your function starting at line 107, what is the return type? double by the function declaration at line14. A declaration that expects to pass a char, a double and a reference to a double. Your definition doesn't match the declaration.

Your get_pay() function, the variables are undefined. Defining them in main doesn't magically mean they are usable in other functions, unless you pass them as parameters to the function.
deleted account xyzzy (5768)
Passing paycode, hours and payRate (as specified by the comment) still leaves totalPay and hoursWorked as undefined.
Paul50002 (11)
its the same program i worked on before but supposed to to be rewritten with functions basically.
so void for the title part(not a problem)so im not worried about that

Boolean for t/f for value returned. if pay code is wrong false if not wrong true.

pay code and hours to (pass by value) and the pay rate passed by reference. To determine pay rate and calclulate pay.

I have been stuck on this program for a while , so im wondering what another person can do with and see what im missing.

this is the output it is supposed to have if it helps:

Anywhere you see ???? requires your program to output some value.

its the same program i worked on before


Please don't start a new topic for the same subject, ultimately it's a time waster for those who reply, just continue with the old one.

@OP
I assume you are the Mr Duckworth. Have you got the go ahead from Mr Coleman to use his work? You can use mine if you like but I suggest you check it thoroughly if you do.
