Reference no: EM13938521

It contains the C++ wages program using a repeat loop in order to enable the user to compute several wages. The loop ends when the user enters -1 for either the hours_worked or the pay_rate. C++ uses the "do" keyword instead of "repeat".

/* Program to compute the weekly wages repeatedly */
/* */
/* Inputs: (keyboard) */
/* 1. No. of hours worked during a week (integer) */
/* 2. Pay rate (dollars per week) (float) */
/* */
/* Output: */
/* weekly wages displayed on screen as float */
/* */
/* Algorithm: wages = hours worked * rate of pay */
/* */
