This method defines the behavior of the object (not the class).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you define a class for Bikes. Bikes have different model numbers, colors, and registration numbers. These are the properties of the class. An object created from this class can store information about a single bike. You can create multiple objects (instances) to store information about each bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is an example of an instance method (<code>myFunc()<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Python code for instance method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code\">class sample:\n    def __init__(self, val):\n        self.val=10\n     \n    #instance method\n    def myFunc(self):\n        print(\"Value: \", self.val)\n \nobj = sample(10)\nobj.myFunc()<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Value: 10<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important points to remember:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The method <code>__init__()<\/code> is also an instance method. It is used to initialize the object. It gets called automatically every time when we create the object.<\/li><li>We can create multiple objects for a single class. Here each object will be holding different data. Instance methods are used to define the property for each object (called an instance).<\/li><li>The first parameter of the instance method is <code>self<\/code>. It is a special Python term for the current object. You don&#8217;t need to pass this object explicitly while calling the instance method.<\/li><li>Just like the instance method, we can also define the instance variable. The variable <code>val<\/code> is an instance variable. It holds different values for each object. To access any instance variable inside the instance method, it should be followed by <code>self<\/code>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Static_Method_in_Python\"><\/span>Static Method in Python<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a special type of method. Though we define the static method inside the class, it does not (cannot) access any class or instance variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It means, it is a self-content method. It can only access the data which is passed as parameters to the method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To define any method as static, you need to define a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csestack.org\/python-decorators\/\">Python decorator<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is an example of a static method in Python.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Python code for the static method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code\">class sample:\n    def __init__(self, val=5):\n        self.val=10\n \n    #static  method\n    @staticmethod\n    def myFunc():\n        print(\"This is the static method.\")\n \nsample.myFunc<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">This is the static method.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important points to remember:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You have to use the decorator <code>@staticmethod<\/code> to tell the Python that this method is the static method.<\/li><li>Unlike the instance method, you don&#8217;t use <code>self<\/code> parameter.<\/li><li>This function can not access any instance variables or methods.&nbsp; Static methods can only use the values passed as an argument while calling them. It is a self-content function.<\/li><li>It is more like a regular method defined inside the class.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Class_Method\"><\/span>Class Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The class method defines the behavior of the entire class (not the object).&nbsp; This method is common for all class instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code\">class sample:\n    #class variable\n    varClass = 20\n \n    #class method\n    @classmethod\n    def myFunc(cls):\n        print(\"Inside class method.\")\n        print(\"Class variable value: \", cls.varClass)\n        cls.otherFunc()\n \n    #static method\n    @staticmethod\n    def otherFunc():\n        print(\"Inside static method.\")\n \nsample.myFunc()<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Inside class method.\nClass variable value: 20\nInside static method.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above example, I have demonstrated accessing class variable and static methods from the class method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important points to remember:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To define the class methods, use decorator <code>@classmethod<\/code>. When you write <code>@classmethod<\/code> above any method, it tells the Python that this is the class method.<\/li><li>A class method can not access data from any specific instance or object.<\/li><li>It can access any class variable or static method.<\/li><li>Here, the <code>self<\/code> is not required. But it uses <code>cls<\/code> parameter to access the class variables and static methods.<\/li><li>To access the class methods, we don&#8217;t even need to create the object of the class. It can be accessed simply using the class name.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_between_Instance_vs_Static_vs_Class_Method_in_Python\"><\/span>[Difference between] Instance vs Static vs Class Method in Python<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Summarising some important points to distinguish these methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The instance method uses the self as the first parameter.
