Methods in a Python class
In Python classes, we have three types of methods: instance methods, class methods, and static methods. In this lesson, we will be focusing on class methods and static methods.
Class methods
Class methods work with class variables and are accessible using the class name rather than its object. Since all class objects share the class variables, class methods are used to access and modify class variables.
Class methods are accessed using the class name and can be accessed without creating a ...
