Stuck - need help

[ichabod801]

It's basically the same error. You need to use fregular_rate for your math calculations, it's the variable associated with a number. Note that 'x' * 4 is valid code, but it returns 'xxxx'. So using regular_rate instead of fregular_rate on line 12 is making regular_pay a string.

This is the problem with having fregular_rate. You keep confusing it with regular_rate. You don't need the string, so just convert it and keep the same name.
