Question

I am trying to figure out the first part of this out. Should be adding *employeeTotals or is it ,emp_Totals, same for the struct min max line.

// TODO - Transition this function from Structure references to
// Pointer references.
void printEmpStatistics (struct totals employeeTotals,
struct min_max employeeMinMax,
int size)
{
// print a separator line
printf("\\--------------------------------------------------------------");
printf("-------------------");
// print the totals for all the floating point fields
printf("\\Totals: %5.2f %5.1f %5.1f %7.2f %6.2f %7.2f %8.2f",
employeeTotals.total_wageRate,
employeeTotals.total_hours,
employeeTotals.total_overtimeHrs,
employeeTotals.total_grossPay,
employeeTotals.total_stateTax,
employeeTotals.total_fedTax,
employeeTotals.total_netPay);
// make sure you don't divide by zero or a negative number
if (size > 0)
{
// print the averages for all the floating point fields
printf("\\Averages: %5.2f %5.1f %5.1f %7.2f %6.2f %7.2f %8.2f",
employeeTotals.total_wageRate/size,
employeeTotals.total_hours/size,
employeeTotals.total_overtimeHrs/size,
employeeTotals.total_grossPay/size,
employeeTotals.total_stateTax/size,
employeeTotals.total_fedTax/size,
employeeTotals.total_netPay/size);
} // if
// print the min and max values
printf("\\Minimum: %5.2f %5.1f %5.1f %7.2f %6.2f %7.2f %8.2f",
employeeMinMax.min_wageRate,
employeeMinMax.min_hours,
employeeMinMax.min_overtimeHrs,
employeeMinMax.min_grossPay,
employeeMinMax.min_stateTax,
employeeMinMax.min_fedTax,
employeeMinMax.min_netPay);
printf("\\Maximum: %5.2f %5.1f %5.1f %7.2f %6.2f %7.2f %8.2f",
employeeMinMax.max_wageRate,
employeeMinMax.max_hours,
employeeMinMax.max_overtimeHrs,
employeeMinMax.max_grossPay,
employeeMinMax.max_stateTax,
employeeMinMax.max_fedTax,
employeeMinMax.max_netPay);
} // printEmpStatistics

Answer 1

The student should use employeeTotals and employeeMinMax in the function printEmpStatistics to transition it to pointer references.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking whether they should use employeeTotals or emp_Totals in the function printEmpStatistics. The correct name is employeeTotals as it matches the parameter name in the function declaration. The same applies to the struct min_max - it should be employeeMinMax as it matches the parameter name. Therefore, the correct function declaration should be:

void printEmpStatistics (struct totals *employeeTotals, struct min_max *employeeMinMax, int size)

This declaration transitions the function to use pointer references instead of structure references.
