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…

4.6.py

def computepay(h,r):
    if h > 40:
        p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
    else:
        p = h * r
    return p
    
hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
hr = float(hrs)
rphrs = input("Enter rate per hour:")
rphr = float(rphrs)

p = computepay(hr,rphr)
print(p)

def computepay(h,r):

if h > 40:
    p= (40*r)+(h-40)*(1.5*r)
    
else:
    p= h*r
    

return p

hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
hr= float (hrs)

rate = input ("Enter Rate:")
rt= float(rate)

p = computepay(hr,rt)

print("Pay",p)

def computepay(hours,rate):
if hours>40.0:
p = 1.5rate(hours-40) +(40rate)
else:
p = ratehours
return p

hours=input("Enter Hours:")
hour= float(hours)
rphrs = input("Enter rate per hours:")
rphr = float(rphrs)

p= computepay(hour,rphr)
print("Pay:",p)

1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r) from computation , I get different figures , could you please explain how come it gives the 498.75

is because you should use 0.5 (the midle with decimals) and not 1.5.

#Many people are getting this wrong because they keep multiplying the overtime rate by 1.5 you need to multiply it by 0.5
def computepay(r):
if h > 40:
pays = (h - 40) * (0.5 * r) + (h * r)
return pays
elif h <= 40:
pays = h * r
return pays

hrs = input("Enter Hours: ")
h = float(hrs)
rate = input("Enter rate per hour: ")
r = float(rate)

print("Pay",computepay(r))

I used this code and it worked:

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

h = input("Enter Hours:")
h = float(h)
r = input("Enter rate per hour:")
r = float(r)

p=computepay(h,r)
print("Pay",p)

you can also make it shorter by combining the float and input together like the following:

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

h = float(input("Enter Hours:"))
r = float(input("Enter rate per hour:"))

p=computepay(h,r)
print("Pay",p)

why its showing be like that? anybody can help me out plz

change print "pay" to capital P

#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.

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
hr = float(hrs)
rat = input("Enter Rate per hour:")
rph = float(rat)
p = computepay(hr,rph)
print("Pay",p)

shows error in line 4??

what is an error ?

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
hr = float(hrs)
rphrs = input("Enter rate per hour:")
rphr = float(rphrs)

p = computepay(hr,rphr)
print(p)

you should try this it's work 100%%%%%

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
hr = float(hrs)
rphrs = input("Enter rate per hour:")
rphr = float(rphrs)

p = computepay(hr,rphr)
print("Pay",p)

you're welcome!

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 0.5 * r * (h-40) + (h * r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

hrs = input("Enter Hours: ")
hr = float(hrs)
rate = input("Enter Rate: ")
rte = float(rate)
p = computepay(hr,rte)

print("Pay",p)

shows error in line 4??
Yeah same error I got but when I give a tab after if and else statement it's run perfectly.

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
hr = float(hrs)
rphrs = input("Enter rate per hour:")
rphr = float(rphrs)

p = computepay(hr,rphr)
print("Pay",p)

Guys can anyone send the correct code for the following 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.
The output should be 498.75

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
hr = float(hrs)
rphrs = input("Enter rate per hour:")
rphr = float(rphrs)

p = computepay(hr,rphr)
print("Pay", p)

#Guys! just add a space last line. don't forget this assigment very sensitive.

Thank you So much

def computepay(h,r):
if h>40:
return
40r+(h-
40)r1.5
else:
return hr
hrs=float(input("enter hours:")
r=float(input("enter rate per hour:")
p=computepay(hrs,r)
print("pay",p)

Coming error

Thank you So much
Bro coming error

Thank you So much
Bro coming error

def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
return p

hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
hr = float(hrs)
rphrs = input("Enter rate per hour:")
rphr = float(rphrs)

p = computepay(hr,rphr)
print("Pay",p)

you can try this!!

Remove "Pay" at the end it just wants p in the desired output. print(p)

this is right answer

p = computepay(hr,rphr)
print("Pay",p)

//Perfect code

if h > 40:
p = 1.5 * r * (h - 40) + (40 *r)
else:
p = h * r
