Ruby - Inheritance

What will be the output of this Ruby code?

class Person
  def full_name
    "Alice Smith"
  end
end

class Employee < Person
  def full_name
    "Employee: " + super
  end
end

puts Employee.new.full_name

A"Employee: Alice Smith"

B"Alice Smith"

C"Employee: "

DError: undefined method 'super'

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand method overriding
Employee#full_name overrides Person#full_name but calls super to get the parent's string.
Step 2: String concatenation
The returned string is "Employee: " concatenated with "Alice Smith".
Final Answer:
"Employee: Alice Smith" -> Option A
Quick Check:
super returns parent's string; concatenation produces final output [OK]

Quick Trick: super returns parent method's string; concatenate as needed [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Expecting only parent's string without prefix
Thinking super is undefined
Ignoring concatenation in child method
