Can you give me examples of class methods in Python?

Can you give me examples of class methods in Python?

Sure! In Python, class methods are defined using the @classmethod decorator. They take the class as the first argument. Here's an example:

class MyClass:
    class_variable = 0

    @classmethod
    def increment_class_variable(cls):
        cls.class_variable += 1

MyClass.increment_class_variable()
print(MyClass.class_variable)  # Output: 1

What is the difference between class methods and instance methods?

Great question! Instance methods operate on an instance of the class and take 'self' as the first parameter, while class methods operate on the class itself and take 'cls' as the first parameter.

Can you show me an example of an instance method?

Of course! Here's an example of an instance method:

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

    def display_value(self):
        print(self.value)

obj = MyClass(10)
obj.display_value()  # Output: 10
