        Employee cloneEmployee = (Employee)em.Clone();

        Console.WriteLine("Original Employee:");
        Console.WriteLine(em);

        Console.WriteLine("Clone Employee:");
        Console.WriteLine(cloneEmployee);

        Console.WriteLine("*** Make a change to original employee ***");
        em.Name = "L";
        em.Title = "M";
        em.Age = 4;

        Console.WriteLine("Original Employee:");
        Console.WriteLine(em);

        Console.WriteLine("Clone Employee:");
        Console.WriteLine(cloneEmployee);
    }
}

Original Employee:
A (AA) - Age 4
Clone Employee:
A (AA) - Age 4
*** Make a change to original employee ***
Original Employee:
L (M) - Age 4
Clone Employee:
A (AA) - Age 4
