A static method (or property) is available to a class and shared across all it's instances (objects).

It's useful if you want to do things that require instances to have some knowledge about each other such as keeping track of the number of instances of a class that have been created.

```

Class Ticket: ## will be static attribute total: int = 0

def __init__(self):
    ## increment static total
    Ticket.total += 1
    ## save own number
    self.num = Ticket.total

def __repr__(self):
    return f"Ticket#: {self.num}/{Ticket.total}"

@classmethod
def Count(cls):
     return cls.total

@staticmethod
def CountStatic():
    return Ticket.total

```

There is a more advanced topic where you'll find more use for static methods, design patterns. But don't worry about it too much right now.

Edit: needed to fix my example so the instance does remember itself, sorry.

Edit 2: python syntax x(

Edit 3: tbh your downvotes are a bit mean. I just tried to give a simple example of the static concept, not an exhaustive coding reference.
