Pay calculator
Version 2.3

SPECIFICATION


NEW IN THIS VERSION: No changes.


OVERVIEW

This program computes what each employee of a small company 
should be paid for a day of work.  The program reads a file 
containing start and stop times for each employee.  The
program prints the pay amounts to another file.


DETAILS

The input file is called "times.txt" and located in the same 
folder as the program.  The file contains a line for each 
employee.  Each line contains an employee number, a start 
time and a stop time.  These three items are separated by 
blank spaces.  

Employee numbers are positive integers.  Times are given on a 
24-hour clock (0:00 to 23:59) in the format h:mm or hh:mm, 
where each h and m stands for a single digit. 

For example, "17 8:00 16:30" means 

The lines in the input file are sorted in increasing order of 
employee number.

The output file is called "report.txt" and located in the 
same folder as the input file and program.  The output file 
contains one line for each employee.  Each line consists of an 
employee number followed the start time, stop time and pay 
amount for that employee.  These three items are separated by 
a single space.  The times are printed in the same format as in 
the input file.  The pay amount is printed with a dollar sign 
and exactly two digits after the decimal point.

For example, "17 8:00 16:30 $104.00" means that employee 17 
worked from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and should be paid $104.  

The lines in the output file are sorted in increasing order 
of employee number (as in the input file).

All employees are paid $12 per hour.  The pay amounts are 
computed as exactly as possible. 

No error-checking is performed in this version of the program.
