CIS115 Week 1 Lab Building a Registration Form and Pay Calculator in Python

CIS115 Week 1 Lab Overview

Title of Lab: Building a Registration Form and Pay Calculator in Python

Summary – Part 1
Create a program that allows a student to complete a registration form and displays a completion message that includes the user’s full name and a temporary password.

Summary – Part 2
Create a program that calculates a user’s weekly gross and take-home pay.

Deliverables
• 2 source code Python files.
• A Word document containing both source code and the screen print of the program outputs.

Lab Steps
Part 1 – Registration Form

Sample Output:
Registration Form
First Name: Eric
Last Name: Idle
Birth Year: 1934
Welcome Eric Idle!
Your Registration is complete.
Your temporary password is: Eric*1934

Specifications:
• The user’s full name consists of the user’s first name, a space, and the user’s last name.
• The temporary password consists of the user’s first name, an asterisk (*), and the user’s birth year.
• Assume the user will enter valid data.

INPUT  PROCESSING         OUTPUT
first_name password=first_name + “*” + str(birth_year) password
last_name
birth_year

Part 2 – Pay Calculator

Sample Output:
Pay Check Calculator
Hours Worked: 35
Hourly Pay Rate: 14.50
Gross Pay: 507.5
Tax Rate: 18
Tax Amount: 91.35
Take Home Pay: 416.15

• The formula for calculating gross pay is:
 o gross pay = hours worked * hourly rate
• The formula for calculating tax amount is:
 o tax amount = gross pay * (tax rate / 100)
• The formula for calculating take home pay is:
 o take home pay = gross pay – tax amount
• The tax rate should be 18%, but the program should store the tax rate in a variable so that you can easily change the tax rate later, just by changing the value that’s stored in the variable.
• The program should accept decimal entries like 35.5 and 14.25.
• Assume the user will enter valid data.
• The program should round the results to a maximum of two decimal places.

INPUT  PROCESSING           OUTPUT
hours  gross_pay = round(hours * pay_rate, 2)    gross_pay
pay_rate tax_rate = 18          tax_rate
   tax_amount = round(gross_pay * (tax_rate / 100), 2) tax_amount
   take_home_pay = round(gross_pay – tax_amount, 2) take_home_pay
