printPay

Language/Type: JavaScript parameters

Write a function named printPay that computes and prints the amount of money an employee should earn. Your function accepts two parameters: anumber for the employee's hourly salary, and an integer for the number of hours the employee worked. Every hour over 8 is paid at 1.5x the normal salary. For example, the call of printPay(10.00, 11) should print the following output: 

Hours worked: 11
Pay earned: $125.00

You may assume that the value passed for the salary and hours are non-negative.

Use the console.log() function to print each line of output and n.toFixed(2) to get a string of a number n to the precision of one decimal point. For example, if n is 1.2345, n.toFixed(2) would return "1.23".

Function: Write a JavaScript function as described, not a complete program.
