The @staticmethod decorator is used in Python to define a static method in a class. A static method is a method that belongs to a class rather than an instance of the class. It can be called on the class itself, rather than on an instance of the class.

        The @staticmethod decorator is used to indicate that the method should be a static method. When a method is defined with the @staticmethod decorator, it does not receive any special first argument (i.e., self) that is automatically passed to instance methods. Instead, it is a regular function that is defined inside the class.

        Here is an example of how to define and use a static method in Python:

class MyClass:
    @staticmethod
    def my_static_method(x, y):
        return x + y

# Call the static method on the class itself, not on an instance of the class
result = MyClass.my_static_method(3, 4)
print(result) # Output: 7

        In the example above, we define a static method my_static_method in the MyClass class using the @staticmethod decorator. We can call the static method directly on the class itself, rather than on an instance of the class. The method takes two arguments, x and y, and returns their sum.
