Function Details: classmethod

Description

Transforms a method into a class method.

Extended Description

The classmethod() function is a decorator that transforms a method into a class method. Unlike a regular method, a class method receives the class as an implicit first argument, instead of an instance. This can be useful for defining alternative constructors or methods that operate on the class itself rather than instances.
