You're given a list of doordash employees that make a certain amount per hour as well as how long they work.

Part 1: Create a function to compute the total amount of money all the dashers make

Part 2: You now want to pay these door dashers by the hour. Add a new function so you can pay people hourly. I.e if i'm working 12-10pm and we want to pay all dashers that have worked before 5pm, this dashers pay should be included. Also consider how you can cache this info instead of repeating
