Activity 8.01: Creating a Function to Calculate Payroll and Performance Review

Solution:

All directories and files should be created inside of $GOPATH:

1. Create a directory called Activity8.01.
2. Create a directory called pay and payroll inside Activity8.01.
3. Create a file called main.go inside Chapter08/Activity8.01/pay.
4. Create the following files: developer.go, employee.go, and manager.go inside payroll.
5. The directory structure and files should look similar to the following screenshot:

   Figure 8.16: Program directory structure

6. Inside Chapter08/Activity8.01/payroll/developer.go, declare the package as payroll:

   package payroll
   import (
     "errors"
     "fmt"
   )

7. The Developer type, and the following methods, Pay() and ReviewRating(), will all be exportable, so the first letter needs to be capitalized. This means that they are visible to other packages outside of payroll.
