LESSON 91 OF 414 · CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS - CHALLENGES

Employee of the Year V2 - Project in Kotlin

Practice

Two employees are up for the Employee of the Year award. Pick the more productive one and compute their 15% bonus.

You start with:

    val name1 = "John Doe"
    val productivity1 = 83
    val salary1 = 135000
    val name2 = "Mary Jane"
    val productivity2 = 133
    val salary2 = 335000

Build:

Mary Jane
Bonus: $50250

Rules:

  • The winner is whichever employee has the higher productivity.
  • If both have the same productivity, employee 1 (the one listed first) wins.
  • The winner's bonus is 15% of their salary, rounded down to a whole number.
  • Print the winner's name on the first line, then "Bonus: $<amount>" on the second.

Declare var winnerName: String; var winnerSalary: Int before the if, then use if/else to assign them, so both are still in scope for the prints. A tie goes to employee 1, so compare with >=.

Dividing two whole numbers (Int) drops the fraction, so winnerSalary * 15 / 100 is already rounded down: val bonus = winnerSalary * 15 / 100

+ turns the Int into text: println("Bonus: $" + bonus)

    val name1 = "John Doe"
    val productivity1 = 83
    val salary1 = 135000
    val name2 = "Mary Jane"
    val productivity2 = 133
    val salary2 = 335000

    var winnerName: String
    var winnerSalary: Int
    if (productivity1 >= productivity2) {
        winnerName = name1
        winnerSalary = salary1
    } else {
        winnerName = name2
        winnerSalary = salary2
    }
    val bonus = winnerSalary * 15 / 100
    println(winnerName)
    println("Bonus: $" + bonus)
