Question

Data Programming l: PYTHON

1. Write a program that computes your gross pay. Your code should get two numbers: hours and rate per hour. You should give the employee 1.75 times the hourly rate for hours worked above 40 hours.

Output:

Your gross pay is $487.5

2. Rewrite the previous program using try and except so that your program handles non-numeric inputs gracefully by printing a message and exiting the program. The following shows two executions of the program with invalid inputs. The program should work the same as before with valid inputs.

Output:

a) Error, please enter numeric input.

b) Error, please enter numeric input.

Answer 1

#Try converting the input to float
#if it cannot convert then it raises a ValueError
#Use this ValueError in except statement
try:
hours,rate = map(float,input().split(" "))
ans =0
if hours>40:
ans= hours *1.75*rate
else:
ans= (hours) *rate
print('Your gross pay is $',ans)
except ValueError:
print("Error,Please enter numeric input")
