Using MATLAB: Separating Work Hours and Hourly Rates

How can you separate work hours and hourly rates for employees using MATLAB?

Using the given vector v = [33 15.5 40 18 20 22], how can you compute the total pay for each employee?

Separating Work Hours and Hourly Rates in MATLAB

To separate work hours and hourly rates for employees using MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

Create a vector v that stores the hours worked and hourly pay rate for each employee. Use the colon operator to separate the hours worked and hourly rates into two separate vectors.

After separating the vectors, use the array multiplication operator (.*), to multiply the hours worked vector by the hourly rates vector. This will give you a vector representing the total pay for each employee. Use the printf function to display the total pay for all employees.

Here's an example code that implements these steps:

v = [33 15.5 40 18 20 22]; % Initialize the vector

hours_worked = v(1:2:end); % Separate the hours worked

hourly_rates = v(2:2:end); % Separate the hourly rates

total_pay = hours_worked .* hourly_rates; % Calculate the total pay

fprintf('The total pay for the employees for vector v is $ %.2f\n', sum(total_pay)); % Display the total pay

By following these steps, you can efficiently separate work hours and hourly rates for employees in MATLAB and calculate the total pay for each employee.
