Programming

Can someone tell how do I get my function called "float OT_hours (float hrs[])" to output the number of hours worked for each employee using an array. I have a function called "void input_hours (int clock_number[],float Hours[])" that asks the user to input the number of hours for each employee. Do I get rid of the "void so that I can get this function to return the number of hours? I want to keep the function OT_hours on its own the only thing this function is suppose to do is find the amount of overtime hours that the employee worked.I then use the overtime hours that it returns in a function that determines gross pay.

Thanks,

J.J.





#include <stdio.h>

#define num_empl 5

void input_hours (int clock_number[],float Hours[])

{

/* Declare Local Variable */

int i;

for (i = 0; i < num_empl; ++i)

{

printf (" \n\nEnter the hours for employee %06d : ", clock_number[i]);
scanf ("%f", &Hours[i]);


}

printf ("\\n\\n");

}

int clock_id[num_empl] = {98401, 526488, 765349, 34645, 127615};
float wage_rate[num_empl] = {10.60f, 9.75f, 10.50f, 12.25f, 8.35f};
float emp_hrs[num_empl];

float grossly_pay[5];


input_hours (clock_id, emp_hrs);

OT_hours (emp_hrs);

Output_results (clock_id, wage_rate, emp_hrs, OT_hours, grossly_pay);

}

A function can't return an array. At best it could return a pointer to an array, but the array would still need to be allocated somehow.
