At the end of the exercise, the students should be able to:

• Implement decision using one-way, two-way, and multiple selections; and

• Combine conditions using logical operators.

Materials:

1. Create a folder named LastName_FirstName (ex. Diaz_Jess) on your local drive.

2. Launch NetBeans IDE.

3. Click File > New Project > the New Project window appears.

4. In the New Project window, click the Java category and select Java Application project and click the
Next button.

5. On the Name and Location page, perform the following:

• In the Project Name field, type GrossPayCalculator.

• In the Project Location field, browse and select your folder, then click the Open button.

• Click the Finish button.

6. Write a simple payroll program that will display the employee’s information. The program should perform
the following:
