C# question

nel

im trying to write a example program which calculates an employees wage. basically they input the hrs worked and the users pay rate. the output calculates the wage but i need it so that if the employee works over 40 hrs then any hours ov over the 40 mark are paid at double rate.

i cant seem to figure it out(im new to this programming stuff!)

could anyone help?

dtlokee

float hours, wage, rate;

if (hours > 40)
{
wage = ((hours - 40) * (rate * 2) + (40 * rate);
}
else
{
wage = hours * rate;
}

or somthing like that.
