Javascript Help

@fw_141Mar 05.2004

Need help with the document.write statement to display the following to the screen as output. Can anyone help? Just need help with the statement in javascript to write this:

Regular Pay: 35 hours @ $10/hour = $350

Am attaching my file thus far.

Thanks You!

Fred!

@JonaMar 05.2004 — #[font=arial]Without testing it, and as far as I know, this ought to work. Could you specify any problems you are having, in particular?

[b]Edit: I see your problem. Working on it...[/b][/font]

<script type="text/javascript">

var hours = parseInt(prompt("Enter the number of hours he or she worked that week:", ""));

var hourlyrate = parseFloat(prompt("Enter the hourly rate:", ""));

if (hours <= 40) {

var regular = (hours * hourlyrate.toFixed(2)); }

else {

var overtime = (regular + ((hours-40)* hourlyrate/2)); }

document.write("Total Hours Worked: ", + hours);

</script>

@steelersfan88Mar 05.2004 — #well, both scripts so far are wrong, because the regular variable can't be called in the else if it is defined in the if. should be more like:

[code=php]<!--Fred Weigand-->
 <!--MIS 241-300-->
 <!--Spring 2004-->
 <!--Scripting Exercise 5 Chapter 4 page 129-->
 
 <html>
 <head>

 </head>
 
 <body>
 
 <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--
 
   var hours = prompt("Enter the number of hours  he or she worked that week:", "");
   var hourlyrate = prompt("Enter the hourly rate:", ""); 
 
   var regular = hours * hourlyrate;
   var overtime;
 
   if (parseFloat(hours) > 40) {
   overtime = parseFloat(regular) + ((hours-40) * (hourlyrate / 2));
   }
 
   document.write("Total Hours Worked:  " + hours);
 //-->
 
 </script>

@JonaMar 05.2004 — #[font=arial]Yeah Steelersfan, I realized that after I looked at the code more thoroughly, which was the reason it took longer than expected to get the result he wanted.[/font]

[font=monospace]

<script type="text/javascript">

var regular = 0, overtime = 0;

var hours = parseInt(prompt("Enter the number of hours he or she worked that week:", ""));

var hourlyrate = parseFloat(prompt("Enter the hourly rate:", ""));

if (hours <= 40) {

regular = (hours * hourlyrate.toFixed(2)); }

else {

regular = (hours * hourlyrate.toFixed(2));

overtime = regular + ((hours-40)* (hourlyrate/2)); }

document.write("Total Hours Worked: ", + hours +" @ $"+hourlyrate+"/hour = $"+regular);

</script>
