To define a static method in a class R, you need to use the @staticmethod decorator followed by the function definition. Here is a simple example:
class R:
@staticmethod
def print_hello():
print("Hello, World!")
In this example, we define a class R with a static method print_hello(). This method doesn't require an instance of the class to be called, you can call it using the class itself, like this:
R.print_hello()
This will execute the print_hello() method and output Hello, World!.
Another example is a static method that calculates the sum of two numbers:
class Calculator:
@staticmethod
def add(x, y):
return x + y
In this example, we define a class Calculator with a static method add(). This method takes two arguments, x and y, and returns their sum. You can call this method using the class itself, like this:
result = Calculator.add(2, 3)
print(result) # Output: 5
This will execute the add() method with arguments 2 and 3, and output 5.
