Python - Class Methods and Static Methods
Which of the following is the correct way to define a class method in Python?
Adef method():
Bdef method(self):
C@staticmethod\ndef method():
D@classmethod\ndef method(cls):
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Recall class method syntax

    Class methods use the @classmethod decorator and receive the class as the first argument, usually named 'cls'.
  2. Step 2: Check options

    @classmethod\ndef method(cls): matches this syntax exactly; others define instance or static methods or lack decorators.
  3. Final Answer:

    @classmethod\ndef method(cls): -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Class method = @classmethod + cls parameter [OK]
Quick Trick: Class methods use @classmethod and 'cls' parameter [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using 'self' instead of 'cls' for class methods
  • Missing the @classmethod decorator
  • Confusing static method syntax with class methods
