What are some examples of decorators in Python?

Decorators in Python are functions that modify the behavior of another function. A common example is the @staticmethod decorator.

Can you explain how the @staticmethod decorator works?

Sure! The @staticmethod decorator allows you to define a method that doesn't require access to the instance or class. It's used for utility functions.

What about the @classmethod decorator?

The @classmethod decorator is similar, but it takes the class as the first argument instead of the instance. It's useful for factory methods.

Can you give me a code example of both decorators?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

class MyClass:
    @staticmethod
    def static_method():
        return 'This is a static method.'

    @classmethod
    def class_method(cls):
        return f'This is a class method of {cls.__name__}.'
