A class method works with class-level data instead of object-level data.

It receives cls as the first parameter.

class Animal:
    legs = 4

    @classmethod
    def walk(cls, name):
        print(name, "walks with", cls.legs, "legs")

class Test:
    count = 0

    def __init__(self):
        Test.count += 1

    @classmethod
    def noOfObjects(cls):
        print(cls.count)

• Use the @classmethod decorator
• cls is passed automatically
• Useful for class-level state
