Syntax

Different types of methods

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

    def instance_method(self):
        print(f"Instance method, self.value = {self.value}")

    @classmethod
    def class_method(cls):
        print(f"Class method, cls = {cls.__name__}")

    @staticmethod
    def static_method():
        print("Static method (no self or cls)")

e = Example(42)
e.instance_method()   # Bound to instance
Example.class_method()  # Bound to class
Example.static_method()  # No binding

Type	Decorator	First Parameter	Used For
Instance	(none)	self	Behavior tied to object instance
Class Method	@classmethod	cls	Behavior tied to class (like factories)
Static Method	@staticmethod	none	Utility functions not tied to class/instance
