Everything else in my program is running correctly i just need help to set up a void function to calculate the highest paid customer.

using namespace std;
struct Client_Bill_Info
{
string name;
string adress1;
string adress2;
int numjobs;
double hours;

ofstream outdata;
int jobs;

string outputfile;
openfiles( getdata,outdata,inputfile,outputfile);

cin>>jobs;
cout<<"How much does the company charge per Hour: "<<endl;
cin>>payrate;// how much you pay
Client_Bill_Info customers;
getandprintadress (getdata,outdata,jobs,payrate);
return 0;
}
I'm not sure if I'm calling my void function correctly in my Main program
This is the void function that I'm trying to create to output the highest paid customer. I know I have to create an if statement but I don't know how to set that up.
void highlypaid (ifstream getdata,ofstream outdata,int jobs,double payrate)
{
}
This should be a void function that reads data from a file and outputs it to another, outputting name, address, number of jobs worked, hours they worked and how much they made.
void getandprintadress (ifstream& getdata, ofstream& outdata, int jobs,double payrate)
{
for (int m =0; m<jobs; m++)// By having cin>>employee here it allow for it to loop as many as number of employess you have
{
Client_Bill_Info customers;//this allows the structure to be included in the function
customers.totalhours = 0;// All these variables must be set equal to zero in order to repeat sum of the valuse by reseting it back to zero
customers.totalmin = 0;
customers.totaltime= 0;
//initially set employee.totalhours,totalmin,totaltime to 0
getline(getdata, customers.name);// gets the first line of data which is the name
getline(getdata, customers.adress1);// Second line of data that reads the adresss
getline(getdata, customers.adress2);// third line of datat that reads the second part of adress
//get the Employee's days worked.
getdata>> customers.numjobs;
outdata << "Customer Information "<<"\n";
outdata << customers.name << "\n";
outdata << customers.adress1 << "\n";
outdata << customers.adress2 << "\n";
outdata << "Number of jobs: " << customers.numjobs << "\n";
for(int i=0; i<customers.numjobs;i++)// loops the program how many days work then reads the number of minutes worked below.
{
getdata>>customers.hours>>customers.min;//gets the hours and minutes displayed like this because it has to read the hours and minute in a single line
customers.min = customers.min/60;//converts minutes to hours for instance 30 min is .5 hours
customers.totalmin += customers.min;// after being converted from min to hours it takes the sum of minutes
customers.totalhours += customers.hours;// taking the sum of the hours
customers.totaltime = customers.totalmin + customers.totalhours;//adds the total minutes and time to calculate wage
outdata<<"Job: "<< i+1 <<": "<<customers.hours<<" Hours "<<" and "<<customers.min*60<<" "<<" minutes "<<endl;
string dummy;
getline(getdata,dummy);
}//calculate the employee's pay check amount
customers.paycheck = (customers.totaltime * payrate);
// outputs data to my outputfile
outdata << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);
outdata << "Amount of Bill: $ " << customers.paycheck << "\n\n";
//Display the employee data to output file.
getdata.ignore();//get the new line
getdata.ignore();
}
return;
}
void openfiles( ifstream& getdata , ofstream& outdata, string inputfile,string outputfile )
{
cout<<"what is the name of your inputfile"<<endl;
cin>>inputfile;
getdata.open(inputfile.c_str());
if (getdata.fail())//test file as true
{
cout<<"Opening File Failed "<<endl;
exit(1);
}
cout<<" What is the name of your output file"<<endl;
cin>>outputfile;
outdata .open(outputfile.c_str());
if (outdata.fail())//test file if true
{
cout<<" File has Fail"<<endl;
exit(1);
}
return;
}
void name(ofstream& outdata)
{
outdata<<"Hector Gutierrez"<<endl;
outdata<<"This program Will Read data from a file and output it to another."<<endl;
outdata<<"Also this program specifically calculates the number of jobs one has work and"<<endl;
outdata<<"how many total hours the company has work at the customers lawn."<<endl;
outdata<<"This program will also calculate the highest payed customer he/she per week"<<endl;

This is my output file
Customer Information
Gavin K. Smith
3928 Ottis Street
Cleveland TN 37311
Number of jobs: 5
Job: 1: 1 Hours and 34 minutes
Job: 2: 2 Hours and 45 minutes
Job: 3: 1 Hours and 55 minutes
Job: 4: 2 Hours and 45 minutes
Job: 5: 0 Hours and 30 minutes
Amount of Bill: $ 85.35
... repeat for other customers....
This is what i trying to output:
The highest paid customer is Name the amount paid per week is Amount
Declare a variable.
Initialize it to the first value.
Loop through all the values (you can skip the first one if you like). If that value is greater than the value in the variable, set the variable to that value.
You now have the highest value in that variable and can do whatever you like with it.
