def calculate_pay(rate, hours):
    # Checking hours is greater than 40
    if hours > 40:
        return (40 * rate) + ((hours - 40) * 2 * rate)
    # When hours is not greater than 40
    else:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Reading rate from user
    rate = float(input("Enter rate: "))
    # Reading hours from user
    hours = float(input("Enter hours: "))
    # Computing pay and printing on screen
    print("Pay:",calculate_pay(rate, hours))
