What is the difference between class and instance methods?

Can you explain the difference between class methods and instance methods in Python?

Sure! Class methods are bound to the class itself, while instance methods are bound to the instances of the class.

How do I define a class method in Python?

You can define a class method using the @classmethod decorator, followed by a method that takes 'cls' as the first parameter.

And what about instance methods?

Instance methods are defined normally and take 'self' as the first parameter, allowing access to instance attributes.

Can you give me an example of both?

Of course! Here's a simple example:

class MyClass:
    @classmethod
    def class_method(cls):
        return 'This is a class method'

    def instance_method(self):
        return 'This is an instance method'
