What is Static Method in Python

what is static method in python

Static methods are mthods that are bound to a class rather than its object. They do not require a class instance creation, therefore they are independent on the state of the object.

The staticmethod() is a built-in function in Python which returns a static method for a given function.

Syntax: staticmethod(function)

class calculator:
	def add(x, y):
		return x + y

calculator.add = staticmethod(calculator.add)

print("Sum = ", calculator.add(2, 3))

Output:

Sum = 5

Static method knows nothing about the class and it just deals with the parameters.
