I have written a code that needs to increment my employee object by 1 for each instance of the class Employee.I am using a variable private static int numEmployee = 0;

My program runs fine, but it keeps giving me total employees = "2" and "3" for employee1 and employee2, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please look at this code and offer any help !!!

This is my first post, so not sure if this format is correct or not. I used Visual Studio 2010 for C# to compile.

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text;

namespace Help

{ class Employee
{
private string firstName; private string lastName; private char gender; private int dependents; private double annualSalary; private double pay; public static int numEmployees = 0; // created static variable

public const string DEFAULT_FIRST = " not given"; public const string DEFAULT_LAST = " not given"; public const char DEFAULT_GENDER = 'U'; public const int DEFAULT_DEPENDENTS = 0; private const double DEFAULT_ANNUALSALARY = 20000;

public Employee()
{
FirstName = DEFAULT_FIRST;
LastName = DEFAULT_LAST;
Gender = DEFAULT_GENDER;
Dependents = DEFAULT_DEPENDENTS;
AnnualSalary = DEFAULT_ANNUALSALARY; numEmployees++; // incremented numEmployees

}

public Employee(string first, string last, char gen, int dep, double salary)
{

DisplayEmployeeInformation(first, last, gen, dep, salary); numEmployees++; //incremented numEmployees

}

~Employee()
{
Console.WriteLine("Cancel the employee!!");
}

public string FirstName
{
get
{ return firstName; } set {firstName = value;}
}
public string LastName
{
get
{ return lastName; } set {lastName = value;}
}
public char Gender
{
get
{ return gender; } set {gender = value;}

} public int Dependents
{
get
{ return dependents; } set { dependents = value;}
}

public double AnnualSalary
{
get { return annualSalary; } set { if(value > 19999) annualSalary = value; else annualSalary = DEFAULT_ANNUALSALARY;
}
} public static int GetNumEmployees() //
{
return numEmployees;
}
public double CalculatePay()
{
return (annualSalary / 52);

} public override string ToString()
{
string str;

str = "Employee AnnualSalary: $" + AnnualSalary.ToString("N2") + "\n "; return str;
}
public void DisplayEmployeeInformation(string first, string last, char gen, int dep, double salary)
{

Console.WriteLine("First Name: " + first);
Console.WriteLine("Last Name: " + last);
Console.WriteLine("Gender: " + gen);
Console.WriteLine("Dependents: " + dep);
Console.WriteLine("Annual Salary:$ " + salary.ToString("N2")); annualSalary = salary; pay = CalculatePay();
Console.WriteLine("Employee Weekly Pay:$ " + pay.ToString("N2"));
Console.WriteLine("Total Employees:" + numEmployees);
}

}

}
