Hello All,

I originally wrote this program to calculate and print the employee with the
most hours worked in a week.  I would now like to change this to calculate
and print the hours for all 8 employees in ascending order.

The employees are named employee 0 - 8

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tony

Code below:



# Create table of hours worked

matrix = [
    [2, 4, 3, 4, 5, 8, 8],
    [7, 3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4],
    [3, 3, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2],
    [9, 3, 4, 7, 3, 4, 1],
    [3, 5, 4, 3, 6, 3, 8],
    [3, 4, 4, 6, 3, 4, 4],
    [3, 7, 4, 8, 3, 8, 4],
    [6, 3, 5, 9, 2, 7, 9]]

maxRow = sum(matrix[0])   # Get sum of the first row in maxRow
indexOfMaxRow = 0

for row in  range(1, len(matrix)):
    if sum(matrix[row]) > maxRow:
        maxRow = sum(matrix[row])
        indexOfMaxRow = row

print("Employee 7", indexOfMaxRow, "has worked:  ", maxRow, "hours")
