Question

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

My Answer:-
def computepay( hrs , rate ):
hrs = input(" Enter the No. of hours ")
rate = input(" Enter the rate ")
hrs1 = float(hrs)
rate1 = float(rate)

if ( hrs > 40 ):
pay1 = 40 * rate1
convience = ( hrs1 - 40 ) * ( 1.5 * rate1 )
Pay = pay1 + convience
else :
Pay = hrs1 * rate1

return Pay


print(computepay(45,10.50))

Error showing:- You must prompt for the data.

My question is that how to fix this error ?? The answer is coming right but the error is showing.

Answer 1

Answer:

def computepay( hrs , rate ):

   hrs = int(input(" Enter the No. of hours "))

   rate = int(input(" Enter the rate "))

   hrs1 = float(hrs)

   rate1 = float(rate)

   if ( hrs > 40 ):

       pay1 = 40 * rate1

       convience = ( hrs1 - 40 ) * ( 1.5 * rate1 )

       Pay = pay1 + convience

   else :

       Pay = hrs1 * rate1

   return Pay

print(computepay(45,10.50))
