LESSON 90 OF 413 · CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS - CHALLENGES

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 whole numbers (int) drops the fraction, so winnerSalary * 15 / 100 is already rounded down: int bonus = winnerSalary * 15 / 100;

+ turns the int into text: Console.WriteLine("Bonus: $" + bonus);

        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;
        Console.WriteLine(winnerName);
        Console.WriteLine("Bonus: $" + bonus);
