    Exercise 1: Rewrite your pay computation to give the employee 1.5 times the hourly rate for hours worked above 40 hours.

    Enter Hours: 45
    Enter Rate: 10
    Pay: 475.0
    
    %%python3
    #Use this space to write and run your code
    
    

    Exercise 2: Rewrite your pay program using try and except so that your program handles non-numeric input gracefully by printing a message and exiting the program. The following shows two executions of the program:

    Enter Hours: 20
    Enter Rate: nine
    Error, please enter numeric input
    Enter Hours: forty
    Error, please enter numeric input
    %%python3
    #Use this space to write and run your code
    
    

    Exercise 3: Write a program to prompt for a score between 0.0 and 1.0. If the score is out of range, print an error message. If the score is between 0.0 and 1.0, print a grade using the following table:

    Score   Grade
    >= 0.9     A
    >= 0.8     B
    >= 0.7     C
    >= 0.6     D
    < 0.6    F
    Enter score: 0.95
    A
    Enter score: perfect
    Bad score
    Enter score: 10.0
    Bad score
    Enter score: 0.75
    C
    Enter score: 0.5
    F
    %%python3
    #Use this space to write and run your code
    
    
    

    Run the program repeatedly as shown above to test the various different values for input.
