PROGRAMMING PROJECT (LEVEL 1)

Mr. Lim runs a small factory. Currently, his clerk is calculating the employees WEEKLY GROSS PAY manually.
This has been difficult with the raising number employees lately.
So, you are asked to develop a program that will determine the WEEKLY GROSS PAY for each employee of a
company. After interviewing the clerk, you got to know that he gross pay of each employee is calculated using the
following formula:
WEEKLY GROSS PAY = ( NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED HOURLY RATE )
The HOURLY RATE for all the employees is RM4.50. The program must show the NAME, STAFF ID and the
WEEKLY GROSS PAY of every employee.

The last phase (fifth phase) of program development is the Documentation Phase. In this phase, programmer
will compile the Problem description and __________________________ done in the Analysis Phase,
Top-down Design Model, Pseudo Code, __________ and Input & Output Interface done in the Design Phase,
write the Comments within the source program done in the Coding Phase,
print the Error-free program listing done in the Testing and Debugging Phase.
Finally, the programmer will create/write _____________________ for the program.

xvi.)

Create a User Manual for your program.

xvii.)

Explain the importance of documentation.
