Hi,
I am trying to complete the PY4E course and I am having trouble figuring out the correct code.

I got a TypeError ‘<=’ not supported between instances of ‘str’ and ‘int’ on line 6

THIS IS THE CODE

  1. hrs = input(“Enter Hours”)
  2. rat = input(“Enter Rate”)
  3. reg = 40
  4. ovt = 1.5
  5. check = float(hrs) * float(rat)
  6. if hrs <= 40 :
  7.     print(check)
  8. print(check)
  9. ovtpay = (float(hrs) - float(reg)) * (float(rat) * float(ovt))
  10. if hrs > 40 :
  11.     print(ovtpay)

12.print(ovtpay)

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

i expect to input 45 for hours and 10.50 for rate then the code will do the math and i will get an output of 498.75

can you format your code or paste it to the pastebin?

!paste

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

none of your stuff is indented right now. I'm assuming the line numbers are from something else right?

Or yes? I think I misread, but you should convert both hrs and rat to a float or int depending on your needs. Just don't leave them as strings.

on line 6 and 7 they are str correct?

Yes.

once i change it to an int i get the same error message, most likely because i am still doing something wrong or misunderstanding. Apologies this is my second day doing this.

That's the wrong one. 40 is already an int, hrs is the string that needs to be converted into a numeric type. In the style of a rust error, ```py
hrs = input("Enter Hours")
rat = input("Enter Rate")
reg = 40
ovt = 1.5
check = float(hrs) * float(rat)
if hrs <= int(40) :

^^^

variable hrs is of type str, which cannot be compared with int.

Consider converting hrs to a numerical type

ie. float(hrs) <= 40 or int(hrs) <= 40

print(check)

print(check)
ovtpay = (float(hrs) - float(reg)) * (float(rat) * float(ovt))
if hrs > int(40) :

^^^

variable hrs is of type str, which cannot be compared with int.

Consider converting hrs to a numerical type

ie. float(hrs) > 40 or int(hrs) > 40

print(ovtpay)

print(ovtpay)```
