Keep same method contract.
Unexpected return type changes.

This lesson is about Method Overriding. You are in the Object-Oriented Programming part of the course.
Main idea:
Child can replace inherited method behavior.
How to learn it: type a very small program first. Run it. Change one line and run again.
Tip:
Keep same method contract.
Common mistake:
Unexpected return type changes.
Your challenge:
Override salary calculation in Manager class.
Scroll down to the challenge lab. Run your code there. When the output meets the task and the checks pass, press the green button to finish this topic.
Example code
Copy this example if it helps. Change it so it matches Method Overriding.
# Topic: Method Overriding
def main():
sample = "edit me"
# TODO: apply Method Overriding concept here
result = sample
print("Result:", result)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Challenge
Override salary calculation in Manager class.
Before you can finish: your output should include at least 16 characters; at least 1 non-empty line(s); no crash traceback—fix errors until the program runs cleanly.
Use Run. Read the output. Change your code until the task is done.
