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 time-and-a-half 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.

def computepay(h,r):
hrs = input("Enter Hours:")
h = float(hrs)
rate = input("Enter Rate:")
r = float(rate)
pay = (h * r)
if h <= 40 :
return(pay)
else :
ovrhrs = (h-40)
regular = (r*40)
othrs = ovrhrs * (r *1.5)
ovrpay = (regular + othrs)
return(ovrpay)
print(computepay(45,10.5))
