Can anyone help?
The question is: "Write a program to prompt the user for hours and rate per hour using input to compute gross pay. Pay should be the normal rate for hours up to 40 and time-and-a-half for the hourly rate for all hours worked above 40 hours. Put the logic to do the computation of pay 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 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."
I receive the following error:
Here is my code:

I receive the following error:
Error:SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Here is my code:
try: input_hours = input("Enter Hours:") hours = float(input_hours) input_rate = input("Enter Rate:") rate = float(input_rate) except: print("Please enter a numeric input.") quit() def computepay(hours,rate): if hours > 40: # overtime regular = rate * hours overtime = (hours - 40.0) * (rate * 0.50) total = regular + overtime else: #regular total = hours * rate return total print computepay(hours,rate)
