What types of methods does a class have in object-oriented programming?

In object-oriented programming, a class typically contains the following types of methods:

• Instance methods — operate on a specific object of the class, have access to its attributes through self.

• Class methods — operate on the class itself, not on an instance, receive the class as the first argument (cls), declared with the @classmethod decorator.

• Static methods — do not have access to the instance or the class, perform auxiliary functions, declared with @staticmethod.

Example in Python:

class MyClass:
    def instance_method(self):
        print(f'Instance method called on {self}')

    @classmethod
    def class_method(cls):
        print(f'Class method called on {cls}')

    @staticmethod
    def static_method():
        print('Static method called')

Each method type serves its purpose and is used depending on the task.
