What is static method?
Static method (also called @staticmethod): A function placed inside a class for organisation but which receives neither the object nor the class automatically. Marked with @staticmethod, it behaves like a plain function that lives in the class's namespace.
Static method: an example
@staticmethod def is_valid_pan(text): ... checks a string format and needs no object data.
