We can call classmethod by using classname or object reference variable.

Demo Program:

1) class Animal:
2) legs=4
3) @classmethod
4) def walk(cls,name):
5) print('{} walks with {} legs...'.format(name,cls.legs))
6) Animal.walk('Dog')
7) Animal.walk('Cat')

Output
D:\python_classes>py test.py
Dog walks with 4 legs...
Cat walks with 4 legs...

Program to track the number of objects created for a class:

1) class Test:
2) count=0
3) def __init__(self):
4) Test.count =Test.count+1
5) @classmethod
6) def noOfObjects(cls):
7) print('The number of objects created for test class:',cls.count)
8)
9) t1=Test()
10) t2=Test()
11) Test.noOfObjects()
12) t3=Test()
13) t4=Test()
14) t5=Test()
15) Test.noOfObjects()

3. Static Methods:
In general these methods are general utility methods.
Inside these methods we won't use any instance or class variables.
Here we won't provide self or cls arguments at the time of declaration.

We can declare static method explicitly by using @staticmethod decorator


We can access static methods by using classname or object reference

1) class DurgaMath:
2)
3) @staticmethod
4) def add(x,y):
