If no super() or this() is included explicitly within the derived class constructor, the super() is implicitly
invoked by the compiler. Therefore, in this case, the Person class constructor is called first and then the
Employee class constructor is called. Up casting is allowed.

This code has one error:

1. Incorrect visibility of `main` method:
The `main` method is defined as `private static void main(String[] args)`. The
`main` method must be `public static void main(String[] args)` to be recognized as
the entry point of the program by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
