Question

The function below takes two numeric parameters. The first parameter specifies the number of hours a person worked and the second the number of dollars that they earn each hour. Compute the value of their weekly pay check. Any time worked beyond 40 hours, is considered overtime. Any overtime earns double pay (but only on the hours beyond the first 40). (python)
Function:

def compute_pay_with_overtime(hours_worked, hourly_rate):

Answer 1

def calculate_pay(total_worked_hours, rate_per_hour):

  if total_hours_worked > 40:

 # anything over 40 hours earns the overtime rate

 overtimeRate = 2 * rate _per_hour

  return (40 * rate_per_hour) + ((total_worked_hours - 40) * overtimeRate

  else:

  # if you didn't work over 40 hours, there is no overtime

   overtime = 0

   return total_worked_hours * rate_per_hour

Explanation:

• First we create the calculate_pay function which will takes 2 parameters.

• Secondly ,inside the function we check if  the total_worked_hours is greater than 40 and then return the pay by calculating with the help of formula for work over 40 hours.
• If the total work hour is less than 40 then we  return the pay by multiplying the total_worked_hours with rate_per_hour.
