Write a C++ program to create a payroll report

CIS-265
Payroll Project
Write a C++ program to create a payroll report based on the following assumptions and requirements:
A company called Data Housing Corp. employs several employees, all employees are paid on hourly base, any employee who works over than 40 hours is entitled to be paid overtime (1.5 for every hour exceeding 40).
Calculate:
1. The Gross income: Gross income = (Rate * hours worked) + over time.
2. The Overtime: Overtime = number of hours exceeding 40 * Rate* 1.5
3. State Tax: State Tax = gross * 6%
4. Federal Tax: fed Tax = Gross * 12%
5. Union fees: Union fees = Gross * 2%
6. Net: Net = Gross – (state tax + fed tax + Union fees).
7. Total Gross for all employees.
8. Average Gross for all employees.
Directions:
MUST USE:
a) ARRAYS
b) Typedef (for string data types)
DO NOT USE functions

optimizing, tuning, and resolving various errors associated with large commercial database systems

Use the Word document just fill-in the information making it about 5-6 pages. Also the power point is the exactly the way it should look.
IT professionals are often tasked with optimizing, tuning, and resolving various errors associated with large commercial database systems. As the world becomes more and more focused on the collection and use of data for various purposes, there is a greater need for building database applications that serve numerous complex functions. This final assessment will provide a comprehensive overview of the concepts, techniques, and skills that you have acquired throughout the course. The ability to interface a database management system with other applications and even third-party services is a commonly performed task in this discipline. The scenario, presented below, provides a real-world situation in which such skills will need to be employed.
 
You will review the scenario and create a presentation that addresses, in detail, the key issues pertaining to performance and database efficiency, while touching on recommendations for improvements. You will then create a more detailed plan for addressing the problems highlighted in the scenario.
 
Scenario The County of Everstone is a large county in a densely populated state in the United States. This county has a total of 34 incorporated cities within its boundaries. Overall, the county has a population exceeding 4 million residents. The county employs a proprietary database management system that is responsible for the county’s property tax assessment, parcel, and payment information. In a recent initiative, the county has been highly promoting the use of its online property tax payment and lookup information to reduce mailed payments and in-office visits. The marketing campaign for online property tax payments and information lookup has been highly successful. However, the county’s database systems have not sufficiently handled the increased traffic. As such, the web application available to residents often experiences high amounts of latency, frequently locks up, or in many instances is unavailable.
 
The board of directors has asked executive IT management to look into the issue and provide a prompt resolution to the matter. A review of the hardware and software systems that the database management systems employ reveals that these systems “should” be able to take the capacity and load. Therefore, the IT management has ruled out the hardware systems as being the issue. Upon further investigation, a lead database systems administrator preliminarily reports that the issue appears to stem not from the hardware, but rather from a need to provide performance tuning on the database. The database design seems to be the culprit, since this database systems administrator noted large quantities of duplicated data, poorly written database queries, and triggers.
 
Furthermore, the chief information officer (CIO) has also directed the web programmers and web developers to look at the web application for potential issues. The web development team has reported that while no design or programming issues were found with the web application, the stored procedures (queries) that it runs from the database server take long periods of time to run and frequently lock up the web servers. They suspect the queries were not designed for efficiency, as they were created before more individuals started using the online property tax payment system.
 
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Six. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
 
 
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
 
Analyze database transactions to discover opportunities for performance tuning  Design database queries for optimum performance that adhere to given requirements and industry best practices  Resolve data duplication and redundancy issues using appropriate database normalization techniques  Respond to run-time errors and optimize database processing successfully by manipulating system parameters   Recommend specifications for advanced multi-user database applications that fit commercial database systems 
 
Prompts
Prompt I: Presentation for the Chief Information Officer (CIO) To address the concerns of the board of directors, the CIO has asked you, as the manager of the database systems team, to provide a presentation that can be delivered to the board of directors. Your presentation should address in detail the key issues pertaining to performance and database efficiency, while touching on recommendations for improvements. The format and tool used for your presentation must be approved by your instructor. It is recommended, however, that free tools with IT support be used, such as Jing, or more traditional tools such as PowerPoint (with accompanying presentation notes), since they will allow you to record yourself giving a presentation. Please review the Guidelines for Submission above the Final Presentation Rubric in this document for further information to guide you in creating your submission.

Basic UNIX command

<[Spring 2018]> IFT 250: Shell & Script Programming with Unix
Lab Activity 2C: Basic Compilation

Learnings
· Basic UNIX commands
· The Nano editor
· Compiling and running a C++ program
Part I: Getting to know Nano
Complete each step listed below and give the command you used to accomplish it.
1. Change your current working directory to the IFT250 directory
1. Using the Nano editor, create a file named first
2. Now in the file first, type the following on separate lines:
your first name, your last name, and your major.
3. Using the commands listed at the bottom of the screen, save what you have written
4. Once you have saved your work, exit the Nano editor.
5. Ensure that the file first exists and contains the content that you just typed.
Part II: Hello World!
Complete each step listed below and give the command you used to accomplish it.
1. If you are not already in the IFT250 directory, move there now.
2. Create a new file in the Nano editor named hello.cpp
3. Enter the following lines in the hello.cpp file:
//**************************************************** // // your_name // IFT250 Spring 2018 // Class Assignment 1 // File: hello.cpp // Discription: print a message to standard output // Compile: g++ -o hello hello.cpp // //**************************************************** #include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() {
cout << “Hello World!\n”;
return 0; }
1. Save the file as before and exit the Nano editor.
You have just created a C++ source file. While it is a valid program, it cannot be executed directly. First you must compile it into an executable program.
2. Compile the hello.cpp file into an executable file named hello using the command: g++ -o hello hello.cpp
3. Run the file using the command: ./hello
4. Take some to experiment with the program. Try figuring out what each line does, and even try to make the program output something different. Just remember to compile the program after you make changes.
Submissions
Once you’ve completed all the activities, perform the following steps for submission:
1. Ensure that all your answers as well as the files you created in this lab are correct and complete.
