Develop a Java application that will determine the gross pay for each of three employees. The
company pays “straight line” for the first 40 hours worked by each employee and pays “time and a half”
for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours. You are given a list of employees of the company, the number
of hours each employee worked last week and the hourly rate of each employee. Your program should
input this information for each employee and should determine and display the employee’s gross pay.
Use input dialogs to input the data.

To develop a Java application that determines the gross pay for each of three employees, you can follow these steps:
1. Declare variables to store employee information such as name, hours worked, and hourly rate.
2. Use input dialogs to prompt the user to enter the employee information for each employee.
3. Convert the input values to appropriate data types and store them in respective variables.
4. Calculate the gross pay for each employee based on the given criteria: "straight line" for the first 40 hours and "time and a half" for hours worked in excess of 40. You can use an if-else statement to handle the calculation.
5. Display the employee's name and gross pay using an output dialog or print it to the console.
Here's an example code snippet to give you an idea of how this could be implemented:
```java
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class EmployeePayCalculator {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Process each employee
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
// Input employee information
String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter employee " + i + "'s name:");
double hoursWorked = Double.parseDouble(
JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter employee " + i + "'s hours worked:"));
double hourlyRate = Double.parseDouble(
JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter employee " + i + "'s hourly rate:"));
// Calculate gross pay
double grossPay;
if (hoursWorked <= 40) {
grossPay = hoursWorked * hourlyRate; // Straight line for first 40 hours
} else {
double overtimeHours = hoursWorked - 40;
grossPay = (40 * hourlyRate) + (overtimeHours * hourlyRate * 1.5); // Time and a half for overtime
}
// Display employee's name and gross pay
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Employee: " + name + "\nGross Pay: $" + grossPay);
}
}
}
```
This code uses the `JOptionPane` class to display input dialogs for user input and output dialogs to display results. You can adjust or modify it according to your specific needs.
