// Assignment 8 - Structures and Strings and Pointers
//
// Name: Ryan Turner
//
// Class: C Programming, Fall 2024
//
// Date: 11/10/24
//
// Description: Program which determines overtime and
// gross pay for a set of employees with outputs sent
// to standard output (the screen).
//
// This assignment also adds the employee name, their tax state,
// and calculates the state tax, federal tax, and net pay. It
// also calculates totals, averages, minimum, and maximum values.
//
// Array and Structure references are to be replaced with
// pointer references to speed up the processing of this code.
//
// Call by Reference design (using pointers)
