Employee stores name and salary. Subclass Manager additionally stores a reports list — its __init__(self, name, salary, reports) must call super().__init__(name, salary) rather than duplicating the assignments, then add team_size() returning len(reports).

Examples

Example 1
Input
Manager('Meera', 180000, ['a', 'b']).team_size()
Output
2
Explanation

Base init handled name/salary; the subclass added its own state.

  • No re-assignment of name/salary in Manager.
