Python is a great language to get started in the world of programming and application development. This book will help you to take your skills to the next level having a good knowledge of the fundamentals of Python. We begin with the absolute foundation, covering the basic syntax, type variables and operators. We'll then move on to concepts like statements, arrays, operators, string processing and I/O handling. You’ll be able to learn how to operate tuples and understand the functions and methods of lists. We’ll help you develop a deep understanding of list and tuples and learn python dictionary. As you progress through the book, you’ll learn about function parameters and how to use control statements with the loop. You’ll further learn how to create modules and packages, storing of data as well as handling errors. We later dive into advanced level concepts such as Python collections and how to use class, methods, objects in python.

The static method


The static method doesn't take an instance or class as the first argument. They are just simple functions. But we include them in class because they have some logical connection with the class. Consider a situation in the methodclass1.py program, when the pay of a person is less than 50000, then the incremented pay amount would be  1.30of pay amount , otherwise 1.20. To turn a regular method into a class method, we will use decorator (@staticmethod) at the top of the method.

Let's make the program:

class Leapx_org():
   mul_num = 1.20
   mul_num2 = 1.30
   def __init__(self,first,last,pay):
      self.f_name = first
      self.l_name = last
      self.pay_amt = pay 
      self.full_name = first+" "+last
   @staticmethod
   def check_amt(amt):
      if amt <50000:
         return True
      else :
         return False
   def incrementpay(self):
      if self.check_amt(self.pay_amt):
         self.pay_amt = int(self.pay_amt*self.mul_num2)
      else :
         self.pay_amt...
