CLASS METHOD in PYTHON | Python for Beginners
In this Python tutorial, we take a deep dive into @classmethod, one of the most powerful features of object-oriented programming in Python.
🔍 We explore:
What class methods are and how they differ from instance methods
Why we use cls instead of self
How to create alternative constructors like from_string()
The use of named constructors (like Pizza.margherita())
Managing and tracking class-level state using @classmethod
✅ And most importantly — how to correctly track subclass data like user counts!
🚨 In this lesson, we also fix a common mistake: using User._user_count += 1 inside __init__, which causes all subclasses (like AdminUser) to increment the wrong counter. Learn how self.__class__._user_count += 1 gives you subclass-aware tracking.
💡 By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of:
When to use class methods
How they help write cleaner, more extensible code
How Python's class hierarchy affects class variables
👨💻 CODE EXAMPLES INCLUDED throughout — so you can follow along and test it out live!
