Trying to set up nested while loops using a boolean switch
- by thorn100
First time posting.
I'm trying to set up a while loop that will ask the user for the employee name, hours worked and hourly wage until the user enters 'DONE'. Eventually I'll modify the code to calculate the weekly pay and write it to a list, but one thing at a time. The problem is once the main while loop executes once, it just stops. Doesn't error out but just stops. I have to kill the program to get it to stop. I want it to ask the three questions again and again until the user is finished. Thoughts?
Please note that this is just an exercise and not meant for any real world application.
def getName():
"""Asks for the employee's full name"""
firstName=raw_input("\nWhat is your first name? ")
lastName=raw_input("\nWhat is your last name? ")
fullName=firstName.title() + " " + lastName.title()
return fullName
def getHours():
"""Asks for the number of hours the employee worked"""
hoursWorked=0
while int(hoursWorked)<1 or int(hoursWorked) > 60:
hoursWorked=raw_input("\nHow many hours did the employee work: ")
if int(hoursWorked)<1 or int(hoursWorked) > 60:
print "Please enter an integer between 1 and 60."
else:
return hoursWorked
def getWage():
"""Asks for the employee's hourly wage"""
wage=0
while float(wage)<6.00 or float(wage)>20.00:
wage=raw_input("\nWhat is the employee's hourly wage: ")
if float(wage)<6.00 or float(wage)>20.00:
print ("Please enter an hourly wage between $6.00 and $20.00")
else:
return wage
##sentry variables
employeeName=""
employeeHours=0
employeeWage=0
booleanDone=False
#Enter employee info
print "Please enter payroll information for an employee or enter 'DONE' to quit."
while booleanDone==False:
while employeeName=="":
employeeName=getName()
if employeeName.lower()=="done":
booleanDone=True
break
print "The employee's name is", employeeName
while employeeHours==0:
employeeHours=getHours()
if employeeHours.lower()=="done":
booleanDone=True
break
print employeeName, "worked", employeeHours, "this week."
while employeeWage==0:
employeeWage=getWage()
if employeeWage.lower()=="done":
booleanDone=True
break
print employeeName + "'s hourly wage is $" + employeeWage
