What is the del method and how to call it?

The __del__ is a finalizer. It is called when an object is garbage collected which happens at some point after all references to the object have been deleted.

class Employee():
    def __init__(self, name='John Doe'):
        print('Hello ' + name)
        self.name = name
 
    def developer(self):
        print(self.name)
 
    def __del__(self):
        print('Good Bye ' + self.name)
 
 
emp = Employee('Mark')
print(emp)
 
emp = 'Rocky'
print(emp)

Sample output of above program.

Hello Mark
<__main__.Employee object at 0x00000000012498D0>
Good Bye Mark
Rocky
