# class method is a method that is bound to the class and not the instance of the class.
# @classmethod is a decorator that is used to define a class method.
# It takes the class as the first argument and can be called on the class itself or on an instance of the class.

class Employee:
    a = 1
    def show(self):
        print(f"The class attribrute of a is {self.a}")

e = Employee()
e.a = 45
e.show() #output will be 45, because it is an instance variable. But we want 1 as an answer. To get so, next file.
