[Tutor] Issue with Code [SOLVED]

[Olaoluwa Thomas]

Thank you so much, Alan. That fixed it (See Script 2[SOLVED] below).

For the purpose of record-keeping, I'm pasting the entire code of all
scripts below as I should have done from the very beginning.

P.S. How were you able to open attachments with the restrictions on this
mailing list?

Script 1
hours = raw_input ('How many hours do you work?\n')
rate = raw_input ('What is your hourly rate?\n')
gross = float(hours) * float(rate)
print "Your Gross pay is "+str(round(gross, 4))

Script 2
hours = raw_input ('How many hours do you work?\n')
rate = raw_input ('What is your hourly rate?\n')
if hours > 40:
    gross = ((float(hours) - 40) * (float(rate) * 1.5)) + (40 * float(rate))
elif hours >= 0 and hours <= 40:
    gross = float(hours) * float(rate)
print "Your Gross pay is "+str(round(gross, 4))

Script 2 [SOLVED]
hours = float(raw_input ('How many hours do you work?\n'))
rate = float(raw_input ('What is your hourly rate?\n'))
if hours > 40:
    gross = ((hours - 40) * (rate * 1.5)) + (40 * rate)
elif hours >= 0 and hours <= 40:
    gross = hours * rate
print "Your Gross pay is "+str(round(gross, 4))

I'm gonna add Try and Except to make it more responsive.

Thanks a lot!

*Warm regards,*
