Employee of the Year V3 - Project in C++

Practice

Three employees compete for the award. Use a chained if / else if / else to pick the most productive one and print their 15% bonus.

You start with:

string name1 = "John Doe";
int productivity1 = 83;
int salary1 = 135000;
string name2 = "Mary Jane";
int productivity2 = 133;
int salary2 = 335000;
string name3 = "Bob Smith";
int productivity3 = 97;
int salary3 = 210000;

Build:

Mary Jane
Bonus: $50250

Rules:

The winner is whichever of the three employees has the highest productivity.
If two or more employees share the highest productivity, the one listed first wins.
The winner's bonus is 15% of their salary, rounded down to a whole number.
Print the winner's name on the first line, then "Bonus: $<amount>" on the second.

Declare string winnerName; int winnerSalary; before the if, then use an if / else if / else chain to assign them, so both are still in scope for the prints. Employee 1 wins when its productivity is at least that of both others; if not, employee 2 wins when it is at least employee 3's; otherwise employee 3 wins.

Dividing two int values drops the fraction, so winnerSalary * 15 / 100 is already rounded down: int bonus = winnerSalary * 15 / 100;

Chain the text and the number with <<: cout << "Bonus: $" << bonus << endl;

string name1 = "John Doe";
int productivity1 = 83;
int salary1 = 135000;
string name2 = "Mary Jane";
int productivity2 = 133;
int salary2 = 335000;
string name3 = "Bob Smith";
int productivity3 = 97;
int salary3 = 210000;

string winnerName;
int winnerSalary;
if (productivity1 >= productivity2 && productivity1 >= productivity3) {
    winnerName = name1;
    winnerSalary = salary1;
} else if (productivity2 >= productivity3) {
    winnerName = name2;
    winnerSalary = salary2;
} else {
    winnerName = name3;
    winnerSalary = salary3;
}
int bonus = winnerSalary * 15 / 100;
cout << winnerName << endl;
cout << "Bonus: $" << bonus << endl;
