 class method is a method that is bound to a class rather than its object. It doesn't require creation of a class instance much like static method

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASS METHOD AND STATICS METHOD 

  • Static method knows nothing about the class and just deals with the parameters
  • Class method works with the class since its parameter is always the class itself.

class method can be called by  the class and its object.

Class.classmethod()

        OR

Class().classmethod()

these both method are very frequently  used in python and it is one of the essential concept of python.it is very necessary to understand the concept of class method and statics method for having good experience and skill with regards to python.

Class Method 

  1. class method is the method which is bound to the class and not the object of the class.
  2. They have the access to the state of the class as it takes a class parameter that points to the class and not the object instance.
  3. It can modify a class state that would apply across all the instances of the class. For example it can modify a class variable that will be applicable to all the instances.

Static Method

  1. A static method is also a method which is bound to the class and not the object of the class.
  2. A static method can’t access or modify class state.
  3. It is present in a class because it makes sense for the method to be present in class.
