How can a static method be called inside a class or from outside its context?

In Python, a static method is declared using the @staticmethod decorator. It can be called both inside the class and outside, using either the class name or an instance.

Example:

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

# Call inside the class (e.g., from another method)
class MyClass:
    @staticmethod
    def greet(name):
        return f"Hello, {name}!"
    
    def welcome(self):
        return MyClass.greet("Alice")

# Call outside the class
print(MyClass.greet("Bob"))

obj = MyClass()
print(obj.greet("Charlie"))  # also works, but it's preferable to call via the class

Thus, a static method does not depend on an instance and does not take the self parameter.
