Question

<!--

What's wrong here? This program works but the logic is wrong. The program is supposed to allocate a 100.00 bonus to those who work more than 40 hours, a 50.00 bonus to those who work more than 20 (except those who qualify for a 100.00 bonus), and a 25.00 bonus for everyone else. But there is an error in the code logic which means that anyone who works more than 20 hours gets a 25.00 bonus, even if they worked more than 40 hours.

<html>
<head>
   <title>Wage Report</title>
  
</head>
<body>
   <h1>WAGE REPORT</h1>

   <?php
       $hourlyWage = 10.75;
       $hoursWorked = 22;
       $wage = $hourlyWage * $hoursWorked;

       if ($hoursWorked < 40)
           $bonus = 100.00;

       if ($hoursWorked < 20)
           $bonus = 50.00;
       else
           $bonus = 25.00;

       print("<p>Your hourly wage is $ $hourlyWage and you worked
       $hoursWorked hours.</p>");
       print("<p>Your wages are $ $wage.</p>");
       print("<p>Your bonus is $ $bonus.</p>");

   ?>

Explanation / Answer

Answer: Changed the logic below in highlited in bold.

<html>

<head>

<title>Wage Report</title>

  

</head>

<body>

<?php

$hourlyWage = 10.75;

$hoursWorked = 22;

$wage = $hourlyWage * $hoursWorked;

if ($hoursWorked > 40) {

$bonus = 100.00;

}

elseif ($hoursWorked > 20 && $hoursWorked < 40) {

$bonus = 50.00;

}

else {

$bonus = 25.00;

}

print("<p>Your hourly wage is $ $hourlyWage and you worked

$hoursWorked hours.</p>");

print("<p>Your wages are $ $wage.</p>");

print("<p>Your bonus is $ $bonus.</p>");

?>

</body>

</html>

Output of PHP :

Your hourly wage is $ 10.75 and you worked 22 hours.

Your wages are $ 236.5.

Your bonus is $ 50.
