Classmethod vs Staticmethod in Python's OOP

A little code written to understand classmethod and staticmethod

class Area: #defining an area class
    def __init__(self,wt,ht):
        self.ht= ht
        self.wt= wt
    def area(self): #defining a simple rect area method
        return self.wt*self.ht

    @classmethod
    def sqr(cls,sd): #defining a square method to take advantage of the rect area method
        return cls(sd,sd)

class Tri(Area): #defining a triangle class to inherit from the area class
    def area(self): 
        super().area() #calling the rect area method from the super_class "Area"
        return int(0.5*self.wt*self.ht) #using the super_class's argument to output the triangle's area
    @staticmethod
    def check(var): #defining a regular function
        if var>=20:
            print("This triangle has a large area")
        else:
            print("Small area detected")

rect= Area(4,5)
sqr= Area.sqr(7) #initiating the square's area
tri= Tri(30,100)

Tri.check(tri.area()) #calling the regular function (initiating the staticmethod). This takes the format: class.method()

#tri.check(tri.area()) the above can also be written this way. This takes the format: object.method()

print(rect.area(),sqr.area(),tri.area())

---

Note 01: To initiate a classmethod or call a staticmethod; the format is as follows "class.method()"

---

Note 02: To initiate / call other methods or staticmethod, the format is as follows; "object.method()"

---

Note 03: Note that staticmethods can be called in 2 ways;

By class e.g class.method()

By object e.g object.method()

Very useful article though.
