Question

4.6 Write a program to prompt the user for hours and rate per hour using input to compute gross pay. Pay should be the normal rate for hours up to 40 and time-and-a-half for the hourly rate for all hours worked above 40 hours. Put the logic to do the computation of pay in a function called computepay() and use the function to do the computation. The function should return a value. Use 45 hours and a rate of 10.50 per hour to test the program (the pay should be 498.75). You should use input to read a string and float() to convert the string to a number. Do not worry about error checking the user input unless you want to - you can assume the user types numbers properly. Do not name your variable sum or use the sum() function.

Answer 1

Answer:

The below code is written in python,

def computepay(workhour,workrate):

hours = input("Enter Hours of work:")  // enter the hours in string

workhour = float(hours)  //converting the string into float

rate = input("Enter Rate of work:")  //enter the rate in string

workrate = float(rate) //converting the string into float

pay = ( workhour * workrate )

//if-else loop starts with the mentioned condition

if workhour <= 40 :  

return(pay)

else :

overhours = (workhour-40)

regular = (workrate*40)

others = overhours * (workrate *1.5)

overpay = (regular + others)

return(ovrpay)

print(computepay(45,10.5))

Answer 2

Answer:

def computepay(h,r):

  if (h>40) :  

      pay = (40*r)+(h-40)*1.5*r

  else:

      pay = (h*r)      

  return pay

try:

  inp = raw_input("Please enter hours: ")

  hours=float(inp)

  inp = raw_input("Please enter rate: ")

  rate= float(inp)

except:

  print("Please enter a number as input")

  quit()

P = computepay(hours,rate)

print("Pay",P)
