Python @staticmethod vs @classmethod - What's the difference?

Why give you a diffcult example with diffcult functions first. If someone is able to understand the function at 2:08 then you can assume they know how deocrators are working.

I have the following using Python 3.10:


class A:
count = 0

def __init__(self):
self.acc = 1

@classmethod
def func1(cls):
return cls.count

def func2(self):
return self.count


if __name__ == "__main__":
a = A()
print(a.count)
print(a.func1())
print(a.func2())


Output:

0
0
0

Couldn't disagree with the comments in this video more. Felt like you just read out code that works very quickly and didn't do much to explain what was actually happening.
