I'm trying to incorporate a function and its call in the GrossPay.py script
that Alan solved for me.
It computes total pay based on two inputs, no. of hours and hourly rate.

There's a computation for overtime payments in the if statement.

Something seems to be broken.

Here's the code:
def computepay(hours, rate):
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))

computepay()

What am I doing wrong?

Hi, The parameters hours and rate are required when calling the method 
computepay ex: computepay(8, 200), so basically computepay() by itself will 
throw an error .... Also, as a suggestion if you're gonna get hours and 
rate via user input perhaps they can be removed from the method definition?
