is that the static method doesn't have a mandatory argument like reference to the object − self or reference to the class − cls. Python's standard library fimction staticmethod() returns a static method.
In the Employee class below, a method is converted into a static method. This static method can now be called by its object or reference of class itself.
class Employee: empCount = 0 def __init__(self, name, age): self.__name = name self.__age = age Employee.empCount += 1 #@staticmethod def showcount(): print (Employee.empCount) return counter = staticmethod(showcount) e1 = Employee("Bhavana", 24) e2 = Employee("Rajesh", 26) e3 = Employee("John", 27) e1.counter() Employee.counter()
Python also has @staticmethod decorator that conveniently returns a static method.
@staticmethod def showcount(): print (Employee.empCount) e1.showcount() Employee.showcount()
