In which cases is it convenient to use static methods in Python?

Static methods in Python are convenient to use when a function is logically related to a class but does not depend on the state of a specific instance (object) of that class and does not use self or cls.

Examples of when to use static methods:

• Helper functions that are related to the class in meaning but do not require access to instance or class attributes.
• Utilities for data processing that are logically connected to the class.
• Functions that can be called without creating an instance of the class.

Example:

class MathUtils:
    @staticmethod
    def add(a, b):
        return a + b

# Call without creating an instance
result = MathUtils.add(5, 3)
print(result)  # 8

Thus, static methods help organize code and group functions within classes when there is no need to access the object's state.
