Take for example this python code, how can you translate to Julia

class Employee:  
empCount = 0

def **init** (self, name, salary):  
self.name = name  
self.salary = salary  
Employee.empCount += 1

def displayCount(self):  
print(“Total Employee %d” % Employee.empCount)

def displayEmployee(self):  
print("Name : ", self.name, ", Salary: ", self.salary)

emp1 = Employee(“Zara”, 2000)  
emp2 = Employee(“Manni”, 5000)

emp1.displayEmployee()  
emp2.displayEmployee()

print(“Total Employee %d” % Employee.empCount)
