Python Converting a Normal Method onto a Static One
A static method is a method that does not depend on an instance or a class. You can define a static method by using @staticmethod decorator before the method definition. For example:
class A:
@staticmethod
def add(a, b):
return a + b
result = A.add(12, 12) # call static method by class name
print(result)
A class method takes cls as the first parameter while a static method needs no specific parameters. A class method can access or modify the class state while a static method can’t access or modify it. For example:
class A:
count = 0 # class variable
@classmethod
def increment(cls): # class method
cls.count += 1 # access class variable
@staticmethod
def add(a, b): # static method
return a + b # no access to class variable
A.increment() # call class method by class name
print(A.count) # 1
result = A.add(12, 12) # call static method by class name
print(result) # 24
A Static Method is a type of method in python classes that is bound to a particular state of the class. They can not access or update the state of the class. You can convert a normal method or instance method to a static method with the help of staticmethod(function)
class ABC:
def abc(num1,num2):
print(num1+numn2)
# changing torture_students into static method
ABC.abc = staticmethod(ABC.abc)
ABC.abc(4,5) # 9
