Foo Corporation needs a program to calculate how much to pay their hourly employ

Question

Foo Corporation needs a program to calculate how much to pay their hourly employees. The US Department of Labor requires that employees get paid time and a half for any hours over 40 that they work in a single week. For example, if an employee works 45 hours, they get 5 hours of overtime, at 1.5 times their base pay. The State of Massachusetts requires that hourly employees be paid at least $8.00 an hour. Foo Corp requires that an employee not work more than 60 hours in a week. Summary of Rules An employee gets paid (hours worked) x (base pay), for each hour up to 40 hours For every hour over 40, they get overtime(base pay) x 1.5 The base pay must not be less than the minimum wage ($8.00 an hour). If it is, print an error If the number of hours is greater than 60, print an error message Create a new class called FooCorporation. Write a method that takes the base pay and hours worked as parameters (this data is to be read from a file), and prints the total pay or an error Write a main method that calls this method for each of these employees. The main method should also print out a sorted linked list of the pays of all employees (excluding the error entries). For this Linked List, (a) use your own code, and (b) use the LinkedList class methods

Explanation / Answer

Assumption :

Code :

package foocorporation;

import java.util.*;

class FooCorporation
{
  
    public static float calc(float b, float h)
    // The method returns the pay of the person if the base pay and the hours worked done is valid else it returns 0
    {
        float i = 0;
        if(b<8)     // checks whether the base pay is less than min
        {
            System.out.println("Error : Base pay less than min");
            return i;
        }
        if(h>60)    // checks is the hours worked done is more than accepted
        {
            System.out.println("Error : Hours worked is more than the max allowed");
            return i;
        }
        i = h*b;
        if(h > 40) // if the person has done more work then it adds up the remaining pay of the person
        {
            i = i + (h-40)*b/2;
        }
        System.out.println("The pay is : $" + i);
        return i;
    }
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        LinkedList<Float> lList = new LinkedList<Float>();      // creating a sorted linkedList of floats
      
        Scanner user = new Scanner( System.in );    // to take the filename of the input file
        String input;
        System.out.print("Input File Name: ");
        input = user.nextLine().trim();
      
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(input);
      
        float b, h, pay;        // b-> base pay... h->total hours work done.... pay-> total pay of the person
        int k;                  // index for sorting
        while(scan.hasNextFloat())
        {
            b = user.nextFloat();
            h = user.nextFloat();
            pay = calc(b,h);
            if(pay>0)
            {
                k = 0;
                while((lList.get(k)<pay)&&(k<lList.size()))     // checks for the exact position for the value to be inserted
                {
                    k++;
                }
                if(k==lList.size())     // when the list is empty or the value is to be put at the end
                    lList.add(pay);
                else
                    lList.add(k, pay); // any other place the value is to be put
            }
        }
        for(float p : lList)
                System.out.println("$" + p);
    }
  
}

P.S. If you could provide me with a sample input, I could help with any debugging if required .
