Calculating pay per weekly hours

[lucklesslily]

I can't figure out how to do something in Turing, I'm trying to write out a program that calculates the weekly pay for an employee. So if they work 20 hours or less they're payed $9/h, etc.

It looked like this @ one point:

if workHours <= 20
then workHours * 9
elsif workHours > 20
then workHours * 11
elsif workHours >= 40
then workHours * 17
end if

and obviously it's not working, but I can't seem to find out how else to figure out the weekly pay per hours...

The problem here is that you're creating a new value by multiplying two numbers together, but you're not storing that value in a variable. Maybe call that variable 'pay'. Then that line should look like this:

then pay := workHours * 9
