Introduction

The C++ language is good for many things such as the ability to learn programming. Probably the best way to learn programming is to write programs, a lot of them. In this exercise, we are expanding on our payroll application with more values for a 2-week time frame.

Practical LearningPractical Learning: Creating the Application

  1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio
  2. In the Visual Studio 2022 dialog box, click Create a New Project
  3. In the Create a New Project dialog box, in the Languages combo box, select C++
  4. In the list of projects templates, click Console App
  5. Click Next
  6. In the Configure Your New Project dialog box, change the Project Name to PayrollEvaluation2 and set the Location of your choice
  7. Click Create
  8. Change the document as follows: 
    #include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Payroll Evaluation\n";
    std::cout << "-------------------------------------------------------------";
    std::cout << "\nEnter the following pieces of information";
