Can someone please help. One of the basic things in almost any job is planning your time. If your assignemnt is really due "tonight" then you have failed to plan your time correctly. How long have you known that you don't know how to complete this assignment? Have you even looked at it? If you had then you would have had time to ask your instructor about the parts you did not understand. Next time you will know to do this. >Here is the assignment: > >You are an accountant setting up a payroll system for a small firm. >Each line of the table in Appendix G (posted below) indicates an >employee's salary range and corresponding base tax amount and tax >percentage. Given a salary amount, the tax is calculated by adding the >base tax for that salary range and the product of percentage of excess >and the amount of salary over the minimum salary for that range. Do you understand the problem description? Appendix G includes a small example or you could ask your instructor if you have difficulties. >� Design a program that solves this problem. It says "design", and not "write" or "code", so I assume that you are allowed to use pseudocode, flowcharting, UML diagrams or whatever your instructor has shown you for designing programs. >� Generate a set of input test values. Test values can include random numbers, but in general should not always be random. You should check important boundary points in your design. You should also check invalid input. Having a quick look at Appendix G, you could use: -0.01, 0.00, 0.01, 1234.56 1499.99, 1500.00, 1500.01, 2345.67 etc. to check the boundaries: one just below each boundary, one on the boundary, one just above the boundary and one in the middle of the range. For invalid input try: 15000.01 1.23e+34 1,567.89 $3245.87 1345.3456 10/11/1968 Hiram K Sluggenheimer III and anything else you can think of. >� Perform a design walkthrough to verify your design. Take each test case and calculate by hand what the expected answer should be. Not run each test case through your design, again by hand, and check that it gives the expected answer. If you get a mismatch then double check you expected answer as you might have made a mistake before going back and changing your design. rossum > >Appendix G: > >Sequential and Selection Process Control Structure >In the following example, the second line of the table specifies that >tax due on a salary of $2000.00 is $225.00 plus 16% of excess salary >over $1500.00 (that is, 16% of $500.00).
