SIMPLE POINTERS

Write a C program that will calculate the gross pay of a set of employees. Declare an array of structures to hold your employees as well as a pointer to it. Do not use any array references with indexes.

emp.wage /* this is bad, it uses an array reference with an index, in this case, i */

emp_ptr->wage; /* this is good, it uses a pointer to reference the wage value */

The program determines the overtime hours (anything over 40 hours), the gross pay and then outputs a table in the following format.

Column alignment, leading zeros in Clock#, and zero suppression in float fields is important.

Use 1.5 as the overtime pay factor.

---------------------------------------------------------

You should implement this program using a structure similar to the suggested one below to store the information for each employee. Feel free to tweak it if you wish. For example, its OK to have a first and last name member instead of just a name member, and if you want to use different types (such as long or double), that is OK as well.

struct employee
{
char name [20];
int id;
float wage;
float hours;
float overtime;
float gross;
};

Use the following information to initialize your data.
