[Tutor] Why is this printing None?

[Cranky Frankie]

It prints the word Zara like it should, then the word None on the next line
which it shouldn't. I got the example from:

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_classes_objects.htm

When they show the results, the word None is not output.

I don't know why this is happening.
