Question

Write pseudocode and implement a Python program for the following problem. 1. Read in: the name of an employee, followed by the number of hours worked by the employee (an integer that is guaranteed to be greater than 0), the pay rate of the employee (a float that is guaranteed to be greater than 0), and the tax rate (as a percentage) for the employee (again, a float that is guaranteed to be greater than 0) 2. Compute the total pay for the employee by multiplying the pay rate and the number of hours worked. Store the total pay in an appropriately-named variable. 3. Compute the tax withholding for the employee by multiplying the total pay by the tax rate divided by 100. Store the withholding in an appropriately-named variable. 4. Compute the net pay for the employee by subtracting the witholding from the total pay. Store the net pay in an variable. 5. Print the name of the employee, the number of hours worked, the pay rate, the total pay, the withholding, and the net pay (Sample Execution). Create a file with the extension.py in IDLE. In the first few lines of this file, type # Author # This must be followed by the pseudocode for the program as Python comments. Do not write pseudocode in the following ways: Using Python constructs Going at a very high level with no details on how something could be achieved. Some students write the pseudocode after developing the Python code. This is a poor approach to problem solving, Although this may fetch you points, you will not gain valuable problem solving experience. The rest of the Python file will have the Python code you create by converting the above pseudocode.

Explanation / Answer

Pseudocode is as follows:

while (read the file):
   Read(employee data, file)
   name := emplpoyee name
   number of hours := num of hours employee worked
   pay rate := pay rate of the employee
   tax rate = tax rate of the employee

   Calculate
      total pay := number of hours * pay rate
      withholding := (total pay * tax rate 0/100
      net pay = total pay - withholding

   print name
   print number of hours
   print pay rate
   print total pay
   print withholding
   print net pay

close(file)

The code is as follows:

#!usr/python/bin

infile = open('input.txt', 'r')   ''' Assuming file name is input.txt"
for line in infile:
    name = line.split(' ')[0]
    num_hrs = line.split(' ')[1]
    pay_rate = line.split(' ')[2]
    tax_rate = line.split(' ')[3]
    total_pay = int(num_hrs) * int(pay_rate)
    withholding = (total_pay * float(tax_rate))/100
    net_pay = total_pay - withholding
    print("Name:",name)
    print("No of hours:",num_hrs)
    print("Pay Rate:", pay_rate)
    print("Tax Rate:", tax_rate)
    print("Total Pay:", total_pay)
    print("Withholding:", withholding)
    print("Net Pay:",net_pay);
    print("")
