IT $140$ Module Three Assignment Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

As programs become more complex, it becomes increasingly important to plan or "design" your code before writing it$.$ Designing your code

will help you organize its logic. It will also help you keep track of the different possibilities that your program needs to handle. Two tools that

programmers use to design their code are flowcharts and pseudocode. You have learned about these tools in the module resources. In this

assignment, you will complete a simple flowchart and pseudocode to design a programming solution for a specific problem.

Prompt

Problem: A company wants a program that will calculate the weekly paycheck for an employee based on how many hours they worked. For

this company, an employee earns $$20$ an hour for the first $40$ hours that they work. The employee earns overtime, $$30$ an hour, for each

hour they work above $40$ hours.

Example: If an employee works $60$ hours in a week, they would earn $$\frac{20}{?}$ hr for the first $40$ hours. Then they would earn $$\frac{30}{?}$ hr for the $20$

hours they worked overtime. Therefore, they earned: $($$$\frac{20}{h}{r}^{*}40hrs)+($$$\frac{30}{h}{r}^{*}20hrs)=$$$800+$$$600=$$$1400$ total.

For this assignment, you must create pseudocode and a flowchart to design a program that will calculate an employee's weekly paycheck.
