Python class static variable | Example code

Which variables declared inside the class definition, but not inside a method are class or static variables in Python.

This is different from C++ and Java, but not so different from C#, where a static member can’t be accessed using a reference to an instance.

When defining some member variable outside any member method, the variable can be either static or non-static depending on how the variable is expressed.

• CLASSNAME.var is static variable
• INSTANCENAME.var is not static variable.
• self.var inside class is not a static variable.
• var inside the class member function is not defined.
