Employee’s Weekly Gross Pay
Create a C++ program to calculate and display an employee’s weekly gross pay. The program should ask for the number of work hours in a week and the hourly pay rate, and use these items to calculate gross pay (gross pay = number of work hours * hourly rate). In addition to main(), use the following two functions in your program:
getRateAndHrs(): a void function that asks for hourly rate and number of work hours. Use pass-by-reference to send these two items to main().
calcPay(): a value returning function that calculates and returns gross pay to main().
The main() function should display the gross pay on the computer screen.

// C++ code
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <algorithm>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
// void function that asks for hourly rate and number of work hours.
void getRateAndHrs (double &hourlyRate, double &hoursWorked)
{
cout <<“Enter in Hourly Rate: “;
cin >> hourlyRate;
cout <<“Enter how many hours worked: “;
cin >> hoursWorked;
}
// a value returning function that calculates and returns gross pay to main().
double calcPay(double hourlyRate, double hoursWorked)
{
double grossPay = hourlyRate * hoursWorked;
return grossPay;
}
int main( )
{
double hourlyRate;
double hoursWorked;
getRateAndHrs(hourlyRate, hoursWorked);
double grossPay = calcPay(hourlyRate, hoursWorked);
cout << “Gross pay: $” << grossPay << endl;
return 0;
}
