How do I use built-in decorators in Python?

What are built-in decorators in Python?

Built-in decorators in Python are functions that modify the behavior of other functions or methods. Common examples include @staticmethod, @classmethod, and @property.

Can you give me an example of using @staticmethod?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class MyClass:
    @staticmethod
    def my_static_method():
        return 'Hello from a static method!'

You can call it without creating an instance of the class.

What about @classmethod?

The @classmethod decorator is used to define a method that belongs to the class rather than an instance. Here's an example:

class MyClass:
    class_variable = 'Hello'

    @classmethod
    def my_class_method(cls):
        return cls.class_variable

You can call it using the class name.

How do I use @property?

The @property decorator allows you to define a method as a property, enabling you to access it like an attribute. For example:

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self._value = value

    @property
    def value(self):
        return self._value

You can access value as if it were an attribute.
