Chapter 11, Problem 9SA

Explanation of Solution

The errors are in the following lines:

1. class hourlyEmployee: public class employee - has the word “class” mentioned before the base class.

2. public:: - should be public:

3. void setHoursWorked(double hrsWk) const; - set functions should not be constant functions as they modify data members.

4. void setPay() const; - set functions should not be constant functions as they modify data members.

5. private; - should be private:

Hence the correct program is:

class hourlyEmployee: public employee

{

    public:

        void setData(string n = "", string d = "", int a = 0,

        double p = 0, double hrsWk = 0,

        double payRate = 0.0);

        // Data members are set according to the parameters.

        // Values assigned to numeric data is nonnegative.

        void setHoursWorked(double hrsWk);

        // Function to set hours worked.

        // if hrsWk>= 0, hoursWorked = hrsWk;

        // Otherwise hoursWorked = 0;

        double getHoursWorked() const;

        // returns the value of hoursWorked...
