C++ class variable problem

I am currently taking a programming class from my university and am running into some strange problems with a program. We have to create an array of pointers to objects, manipulate the data within the objects, perform a calculation, and output everything to the screen. Here's the code:

/*
	prog2.cpp
*/

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
//#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

void processarray();
double calculatesalary();

class employee
{
public:
	employee() {}
	
	
	//Method to set the name variable.

	
	void setname(string n)
	{
		name = n;
		return;
	}

	//Method to retrieve the name variable

	//Returns string


	string getname() const
	{
		return name;
	}

	//Method to set the years variable.


	void setyears(double y)
	{
		years = y;
		return;
	}

	//Method to retrieve the years variable.

	//Returns double


	double getyears() const
	{
		return years;
	}

	//Method to set the pay variable


	void setpay(double p)
	{
		payrate = p;
		return;
	}

	//Method to retrieve the pay variable

	//Returns double


	double getpay() const
	{
		return payrate;
	}

	//Method to set the salary variable


	void setsalary(double s)
	{
		salary = s;
		return;
	}

	//Method to retrive the salary variable

	//Returns double


	double getsalary() const
	{
		return salary;
	}

private:
	
	//Variables for employee object.


	string name;		
	double years,
		   payrate,
		   salary;
};

/*
	Instantiation of an array of pointers to
	employee objects
*/

employee * empArray = new employee[1];


void main()
{
	/*
		Temp variables to be passed into
		employee object methods
	*/

	string n;
	double y,
		   p;

	int i;
	for(i=0; i<1; i++)
	{

		//string n; // Temp variable for name input

		//double y, // Temp variable for year input

		//	   p; // Temp variable for pay input


		cout << "Enter the employee name => ";
		cin >> n;
		empArray[i].setname(n);

		cout << "Enter the number of years which the employee " << endl
			 << "has worked for the company => ";
		cin >> y;
		empArray[i].setyears(y);

		cout << "Enter the employee payrate => ";
		cin >> p;
		empArray[i].setpay(p);
	}

	processarray();

}

double calculatesalary(employee e)
{
	e.setsalary((e.getyears() * e.getpay()));

	return e.getsalary();
}

void processarray()
{
	int i;
	for(i=0; i<1; i++)
	{
		calculatesalary(empArray[i]);
	}

	for(i=0; i<1; i++)
	{
		cout << "\nName: " << empArray[i].getname() << endl;
		cout << "Years at Company: " << empArray[i].getyears() << endl;
		cout << "Payrate: " << empArray[i].getpay() << endl;
		cout << "Salary: " << empArray[i].getsalary() << endl;

		cout << "\n" << empArray[i].getpay() << " " << empArray[i].getyears() << " "
			 << empArray[i].getsalary() << endl;
	}
}

I know the salary calculation doesn't make sense but it was what the professor specifically asked for... I double checked! Anyhow... say you enter bill for the name, 2 for the years and 2 for the payrate. The calculation makes salary 4 (which I can see from a debugger) but when it tries to output the data at the end, it prints a large negative value for salary... even though the other variables are ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance... -------------------------------------- I'm not a freak, I'm just really shiny.
