C++ struct Passing a structure's address and using a pointer with the new notation to reference the structure directly.

{
   int id;/* w  ww. j  ava2  s  .c  om*/
   double payRate;
   double hours;
};

int main()
{

   cout << setw(10) << setiosflags(ios::fixed) << setiosflags(ios::showpoint) << setprecision(2);
   cout << "The net pay for employee " << emp.id << " is $" << netPay << endl;
   return 0;

{                            // structure of Employee type
