I have the following code, which should print 3500.0 to the console:
class Employee:
""" Creates an instance of Employee """
def __init__(self, name, annual_salary):
self.name = name
self.annual_salary = annual_salary
def calculate_monthly_salary(self):
return annual_salary / 0.12
class CustomerServiceEmployee(Employee):
""" Creates an instance of CustomerServiceEmployee """
def __init__(self, name, annual_salary, department):
super().__init__(name, annual_salary)
self.department = department
cs_manager = CustomerServiceEmployee("Kelly Johnson", 42000, "Customer Service")
kellys_monthly_salary = Employee.calculate_monthly_salary
print(kellys_monthly_salary)
but instead it prints:
<function Employee.calculate_monthly_salary at 0x7fdfb1db31f0>
I am led to believe my issue is in the method calculate_monthly_salary but I can't for the life of me sort it out. Could anybody shed some light please?
First of all you have created an object for CustomerServiceEmployee already and stored that in cs_manager. So why not use it?
kellys_monthly_salary = cs_manager.calculate_monthly_salary()
also line 10 should have self.
self.annual_salary
full code
class Employee:
""" Creates an instance of Employee """
def __init__(self, name, annual_salary):
self.name = name
self.annual_salary = annual_salary
def calculate_monthly_salary(self):
return self.annual_salary / 0.12
class CustomerServiceEmployee(Employee):
""" Creates an instance of CustomerServiceEmployee """
def __init__(self, name, annual_salary, department):
super().__init__(name, annual_salary)
self.department = department
cs_manager = CustomerServiceEmployee("Kelly Johnson", 42000, "Customer Service")
kellys_monthly_salary = cs_manager.calculate_monthly_salary()
print(kellys_monthly_salary)
