Employee of the Year V3 - Project in Scala

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:

        val name1 = "John Doe"
        val productivity1 = 83
        val salary1 = 135000
        val name2 = "Mary Jane"
        val productivity2 = 133
        val salary2 = 335000
        val name3 = "Bob Smith"
        val productivity3 = 97
        val 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 var winnerName: String = ""; var winnerSalary: Int = 0 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: val bonus = winnerSalary * 15 / 100

+ turns the Int into text: println("Bonus: $" + bonus)

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

        var winnerName: String = ""
        var winnerSalary: Int = 0
        if (productivity1 >= productivity2 && productivity1 >= productivity3) {
            winnerName = name1
            winnerSalary = salary1
        } else if (productivity2 >= productivity3) {
            winnerName = name2
            winnerSalary = salary2
        } else {
            winnerName = name3
            winnerSalary = salary3
        }
        val bonus = winnerSalary * 15 / 100
        println(winnerName)
        println("Bonus: $" + bonus)
