Question

name = \taylor\
hours_worked = 5
hourly_rate = 15

should equal 75

pay = hours_worked + hourly_rate

should say \hi, taylor! you earned $75

message = \hi, \ +
ame\ + \! you earned $\ + str(pay)

should equal 300

minutes_worked = hours_worked * 30
print(message)
print(\thats \ + str(minutes_worked) + \ minutes of work!\)

instructions: carefully read through the code and try to spot and correct the logical errors. remember, logical errors occur when the code does not behave as intended, even though it runs without syntax or runtime errors. this program wont provide any error message. step through the program to find the logic error. this program contains three intentional logical errors. fix the errors until you have a bug free program!

Explanation:

Step1: Correct pay calculation

The pay should be calculated by multiplying hours worked and hourly rate, not adding. So change the line pay = hours_worked + hourly_rate to pay = hours_worked * hourly_rate.

Step2: Correct minutes calculation

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so to calculate minutes worked, change minutes_worked = hours_worked 30 to minutes_worked = hours_worked 60.

Step3: Check message formatting

No further issues with message formatting as long as pay is calculated correctly.

The corrected code would be:

name = "Taylor"
hours_worked = 5
hourly_rate = 15

# should equal 75
pay = hours_worked * hourly_rate

# should say "Hi, Taylor! You earned $75"
message = "Hi, " + name + "! You earned $" + str(pay)

# should equal 300
minutes_worked = hours_worked * 60

print(message)
print("That's " + str(minutes_worked) + " minutes of work!")

Answer:

The code above is the corrected version with logical errors fixed.
