Exercise

Add a class constructor

In this exercise, you'll continue working on the Employee class. Instead of using the methods like set_salary() that you wrote in the previous lesson, you will introduce a constructor that assigns name and salary to the employee at the moment when the object is created.

Initializing attributes in the constructor is a good idea because this ensures that the object has all the necessary attributes the moment it is created.

  • Define the Employee class with a constructor that accepts two arguments, name and salary (the latter with a default value of 0).
  • Create two attributes, also called name and salary, setting their values to the corresponding arguments.
