🐍 Class and Static Methods in Python 🐍
📚 Classes are fundamental building blocks in Python, allowing us to encapsulate data and behavior into reusable structures. Within this realm, we have two types of methods: Class Methods and Static Methods. Let's explore each one in detail and understand their purpose. 💡
🔵 Class Methods:
Class Methods are methods that operate on the class itself rather than on instances of the class. They possess access to the class and its attributes, enabling us to perform operations involving the class as a whole. 🏢
🟢 Static Methods:
Static Methods, on the other hand, do not require access to the class or its instances. They are independent of the class and often provide utility functionalities that do not depend on the attributes or behavior of the class. ⚙️
