What parameters can be passed to a method annotated as @staticmethod?

Answer from AI

A method annotated with @staticmethod in Python does not automatically accept a reference to the instance (self) or the class (cls). It is a regular function that is placed inside a class for organizational convenience.

Parameters that can be passed to @staticmethod are the same as those for a regular function: any positional and keyword arguments, including *args and **kwargs.

Example:

class MyClass:
    @staticmethod
    def greet(name):
        print(f"Hello, {name}!")

MyClass.greet("Alice")  # Will output: Hello, Alice!

Here, the greet method takes one parameter, name, which is explicitly passed during the call.
