Give the Employee Class a Constructor

Assume nothing has been defined for you. Write a class named Employee whose parent is object.

Its initializer takes three values, in this order: a first name (a str), a last name (a str), and a salary (a float). It must store them on the instance as data attributes named first_name, last_name and pay — note that the attribute names are not obliged to match the names of the initializer's parameters.

Every instance must carry its own copy of those three attributes, so two employees built from the same class can hold completely different values.

e = Employee("Ada", "Lovelace", 92000.0)
e.first_name   # "Ada"
e.last_name    # "Lovelace"
e.pay          # 92000.0

class Employee(object):
    """An employee described by a first name, a last name and a salary."""

class Employee(object):
    """An employee described by a first name, a last name and a salary."""
