Question 4
It has been observed by management that some faculty members at the
university demonstrate a lackadaisical attitude toward teaching. They seldom
go to class yet at the end of each month they receive full salary. Management
has decided that GHs 200, 300, 400, and 500 will be deducted from a faculty’s
salary if he/she offends once, twice, third time and forth time respectively in
a month. This means that if a faculty member offends once in a month GHs
200 will be deducted, if a faculty member offends twice in a month, GHs 500
(i.e. 200+300) will be deducted, if a faculty member offends three times in a
month GHs 900 (i.e. 200+300+400), will be deducted and if a faculty member
offends four times in a month GHs 1,400 (i.e. 200+300+400+500). Assuming
all faculty members are on a flat salary rate of GHs 2000.
a. Write a java program to request for the names of four faculty members and
number times he/she has absented him/herself from class in a month.
One of them should have absented him/herself once, another twice,
another three times and another four times.
b. Using method overloading, define four methods namely absent1,
absent2, absent3 and absent4 to perform the following.
1. absent1 should have two arguments (base salary and a variable X).
declare an appropriate data type for X and initialize it to 200. Your
method should return the base salary minus X when called.
2. absent2 should have three arguments (base salary and two
variables X and Y). declare an appropriate data type for X, Y,
initialize X to 200 and Y to 300. Your method should return the base
salary minus the sum of X and Y when called.
3. absent3 should have four arguments (base salary and three
variables X, Y and Z). declare an appropriate data type for X, Y, Z
initialize X to 200, Y to 300 and Z to 400. Your method should return
the base salary minus the sum of X, Y and Z when called.5
4. absent4 should have five arguments (base salary and four variables
X, Y, Z and K). declare an appropriate data type for X, Y, Z and K,
initialize X to 200, Y to 300, Z to 400 and K to 500. Your method
should return the base salary minus the sum of X, Y, Z and K when
called.
c. Display your results
d. critically, explain the logic behind the code
