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.

# Import datetime from datetime
from datetime import datetime

class Employee:
    
    def __init__(self, name, salary=0):
        self.name = name
        if salary > 0:
          self.salary = salary
        else:
          self.salary = 0
          print("Invalid salary!")
          
        # Add the hire_date attribute and set it to today's date
        self.hire_date= datetime.today()
        
   # ...Other methods omitted for brevity ...
      
emp = Employee("Korel Rossi", -1000)
print(emp.name)
print(emp.salary)
