Calculate Special Bonus - Problem

Given a table Employees with employee information, calculate the bonus for each employee based on specific rules.

Bonus Rules:

  • If employee ID is odd AND name does not start with 'M' → bonus = 100% of salary
  • Otherwise → bonus = 0

Return the result ordered by employee_id.

Table Schema

Employees
Column Name Type Description
employee_id PK int Primary key, unique employee identifier
name varchar Employee name
salary int Employee salary
Primary Key: employee_id
Note: Each row represents one employee with their ID, name, and salary

Input & Output

Example 1 — Mixed Conditions
Input Table:
employee_id name salary
2 Meir 3000
3 Michael 1000
1 Will 1000
Output:
employee_id bonus
1 1000
2 0
3 0
💡 Note:

Employee 1: ID is odd (1) and name 'Will' doesn't start with 'M' → bonus = 1000

Employee 2: ID is even (2) → bonus = 0

Employee 3: ID is odd (3) but name 'Michael' starts with 'M' → bonus = 0

Example 2 — All Eligible
Input Table:
employee_id name salary
1 Alice 5000
3 Bob 4000
Output:
employee_id bonus
1 5000
3 4000
💡 Note:

Both employees have odd IDs and names not starting with 'M', so they get full salary as bonus.

Example 3 — No Eligible
Input Table:
employee_id name salary
2 John 2000
4 Mary 3000
Output:
employee_id bonus
2 0
4 0
💡 Note:

Employee 2 has even ID and Employee 4 has even ID, so both get 0 bonus regardless of names.

Constraints

  • 1 ≤ employee_id ≤ 1000
  • name consists of uppercase and lowercase letters
  • 1 ≤ salary ≤ 10^6
