Programming for Everybody: Assignment 04.6 Functions - edorlando07/datasciencecoursera GitHub Wiki

###Getting Started with Python

4.6 Write a program to prompt the user for hours and rate per hour using raw_input to compute gross pay. Award time-and-a-half for the hourly rate for all hours worked above 40 hours. Put the logic to do the computation of time-and-a-half 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 raw_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.

hrs = raw_input("Enter Hours:")
rate = raw_input("Enter Rate:")

h = float(hrs)
r = float(rate)

def computepay(h,r):
    
    if h > 40:
        return (40 * r) + ((h - 40)*(r * 1.5))
    elif h <= 40:
        return (h * r)
    else:
        return 0

print computepay(h,r)

The output for the code listed above includes the following:

Enter Hours:45
Enter Rate:10.50
498.75
