Hourly Pay Rate Program 1

Write a program that prompts a user for an hourly pay rate. The program should justify the following conditions:

If the user enters values less than $5.65 or greater than $49.99, prompt the user to enter the value again.
If the user enters an invalid value in the second attempt, display an appropriate error message.

Save the program as EnsureValidPayRate.es.
