Sure, here's how to define a static method in Python 3.10:
In Python, you can define a static method in a class by using the @staticmethod decorator before the method definition. A static method is a method that belongs to a class, not an instance of that class. Thus, it's not associated with any instance of the class.
Here's the syntax for defining a static method in a Python class:
class MyClass:
@staticmethod
def my_static_method(param1, param2):
# do something
pass
In the above code, we defined a static method my_static_method. We used the @staticmethod decorator to indicate that this method is a static method.
Here's an example:
class Calculator:
@staticmethod
def add(a, b):
return a + b
print(Calculator.add(2, 3)) # Output: 5
In the above example, we defined a static method add in the Calculator class. We used the @staticmethod decorator to indicate that this method is a static method. We called the static method using the class name Calculator.add(2, 3) and it returned the sum of the two values.
