# Alternative constructor with class method
class Employee:
    def __init__(self, first, last):
        self.first = first
        self.last = last
    @classmethod
    def from_string(cls, emp_str):
        first, last = emp_str.split(' ')
        return cls(first, last)    # cls() is the same as Employee()

emp_1 = Employee('John', 'Smith')
emp_2 = Employee.from_string('Jane Doe')
