Oh, goodness. I've become a regular here. I have all of my code but it's weird because I'm trying my best but I cannot seem to get it to work. I've tried rewriting parts of it and even making minor changes but it just won't work. At all.
WeeklyPay.py helps calculate the gross pay of multiple employees based on the hours they worked and their hourly rate
def main():
call other modules to get the work done
:return: None
total_gross_pay = 0
total_hours_worked = 0
employee_quantity = 0
company_employee = input("Did the employee work this week? Y or y for yes: ")
while company_employee == "y" or "Y":
employee_quantity += 1
name, hours, rate = get_info()
gross_pay = caculate_gross_pay(hours, rate)
pay_stub(name, hours, rate, gross_pay)
total_gross_pay += gross_pay
total_hours_worked += hours
company_employee = input("Have more employees worked? Y or y for yes: ")
show_summary(employee_quantity, total_hours_worked, total_gross_pay)
def get_info():
This module gets the needed info from employees
:return: name, hours_worked, pay_rate
name = input("Enter the employee's name: ")
hours_worked = float(input("How many hours did the employee work? "))
pay_rate = float(input("What is the employee's hourly pay rate? "))
return name, hours_worked, pay_rate
def caculate_gross_pay(hours_worked, pay_rate):
Hours above 40 will be paid time and a half (1.5)
:param hours_worked:
:param pay_rate:
:return: gross_pay
if hours_worked > 40:
gross_pay = 40 * pay_rate + (hours_worked - 40) * 1.5 * pay_rate
else:
gross_pay = pay_rate * hours_worked
return gross_pay
def pay_stub(name, hours_worked, pay_rate, gross_pay):
This module prints the pay_stub
:param name:
:param hours_worked:
:param pay_rate:
:param gross_pay:
print("Employee Name: " + name)
print("Hours Worked: %.2f"%hours_worked)
print("Hourly Pay Rate: $%.2f"%pay_rate)
print("Gross Pay: $%.2f"%gross_pay)
def show_summary(employee_quantity, total_hours, total_pay):
:param employee_quantity:
:param total_hours:
:param total_pay:
:return: None
print("Pay Summary ")
print("Total number of employees: {}".format(employee_quantity))
print("Total hours worked by all employees {}".format(total_hours))
print("Total pay given to employees ${:,.2f}".format(total_pay))
main()
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I get these errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/inge scool/PycharmProjects/Week1/WeeklyPay.py", line 80, in <module>
main()
File "C:/Users/inge scool/PycharmProjects/Week1/WeeklyPay.py", line 20, in main
pay_stub(name, hours, rate, gross_pay)
File "C:/Users/inge scool/PycharmProjects/Week1/WeeklyPay.py", line 65, in pay_stub
print("Gross Pay: $%.2f"%gross_pay)
TypeError: must be real number, not NoneType
I've tried searching online and keep getting stuff about integers with NoneType but is isn't fully applicable to what I'm doing. I'm adding numbers?

def caculate_gross_pay(hours_worked, pay_rate):
Hours above 40 will be paid time and a half (1.5)
:param hours_worked:
:param pay_rate:
:return: gross_pay
if hours_worked > 40:
gross_pay = 40 * pay_rate + (hours_worked - 40) * 1.5 * pay_rate
else:
gross_pay = pay_rate * hours_worked
return gross_pay ## remove indent here
Following the traceback you can see that gross_pay is returned inside an if/else, and only returns if the else is run. Simply unindent it and it should work.
