Have you worked with the @staticmethod decorator?

Answer from AI
The @staticmethod decorator in Python is used to define a class method that does not depend on the instance and does not take a self parameter. Such a method can be called either through the class or through an instance, but it does not have access to the instance or class attributes or methods.
Example:
class MathUtils:
@staticmethod
def add(a, b):
return a + b
# Call without creating an instance
result = MathUtils.add(5, 3) # 8
# Call through an instance
obj = MathUtils()
result2 = obj.add(2, 4) # 6
It is used when a method logically belongs to the class but does not require access to its state.
