Exercise 3.2 - Python for Everybody

Rewrite your pay program using try and except so that your
program handles non-numeric input gracefully by printing a message
and exiting the program. The following shows two executions of the
program:

Enter Hours: 20
Enter Rate: nine
Error, please enter numeric input

Enter Hours: forty
Error, please enter numeric input


hours = input("Enter hours worked: ") # asks user for hours worked for the week
try:
    hours = int(hours)
    
    rate = input("Enter how much you earn per hour: ") # asks user how much per hour they get paid
    
    try:
        rate = float(rate)
        if hours > 40:
            pay = (1.5 * rate * (hours -40) + (40 * rate))
            print(pay)
        else:
            pay = rate * hours
            print(pay)
    except:
        print("Error, please enter a numerica value")
except:
    print("Error, please enter a numerica value")
