def pay(hours, rate):
gross = hours rate
if gross 100:
tax = .25
if gross >=200 and gross 300:
tax = .35
if gross =300 and gross 400:
tax = .45
if gross = 400:
tax = .50
taxtopay = gross * tax
net = gross - taxtopay
print "Gross pay is" gross "but net is only" net
def pay(hours, rate):
gross = hours rate
if gross 100:
tax = .25
if gross >=200 and gross 300:
tax = .35
if gross >=300 and gross 400:
tax = .45
if gross >= 400:
tax = .50
taxtopay = gross * tax
net = gross - taxtopay
print "Gross pay is" gross "but net is only" net
| Are you multiplying hours times rate? How do you tell the program to specifically do that? Kelly Farrell |
I think the program got messed up because certain symbols require special combinations like *
Yeah, the asterisks got left out.
this is what i got:
def pay(hrs, rate):
grosspay = (hrs * rate)
if grosspay < 100:
tax=0.25
if grosspay >= 200 and grosspay < 300:
tax=0.35
if grosspay >= 300 and grosspay < 400:
tax=0.45
if grosspay >= 400:
tax=0.50
netpay=grosspay-(tax * grosspay)
print grosspay
print netpay
This is my function. I loaded it into Jes and have tried out some numbers. It works for most all, but when I tried pay(18,7), I got the following error: A local name was used before it was created. You need to define the method or variable before you try to use it.
Please check line 17 of C:\JES\pay.py
Why?!?
def pay(hours,ratebyhour):
grosspay = (hours*ratebyhour)
print "The gross pay is", grosspay
if (grosspay < 100):
taxrate = 0.25
if (grosspay >= 200) and (grosspay < 300):
taxrate = 0.35
if (grosspay >= 300) and (grosspay < 400):
taxrate = 0.45
if (grosspay >= 400):
taxrate = 0.50
taxedamount = (grosspay*taxrate)
netpay = grosspay - taxedamount
print "The net pay is", netpay
| Yeah, that problem is not you as long as what you have in JES is EXACTLY what is above. If so it is a glitch with JES, because it works perfectly for me. Try saving your recipe, then shut down JES. Then try to open JES and then open the recipe again. That should work. But don't worry. Even if JES doesn't know it, your program works fine. Lauren Biddle |
| IF the grosspay is between 100 and 200 in this program, then the taxrate gets no value, so you get an error when you go to compute the taxedamount because taxrate is undefined. Mark Guzdial |
