PROGRAM EXPLANATION

Algorithm and explanation

Initialize the sample values used to define a class method.
Define the class behavior for classmethod and apply cls.
Display the result for define a class method and compare it with the documented sample output.

This example of define a class method organizes the required state and behavior in a class. It demonstrates classmethod and cls and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

DEBUGGING CHECKLIST

Common mistakes

Check this

For define a class method, keep the data shape and value types consistent with classmethod.

Check this

Keep every dependent statement inside the correct indented Python block.

Check this

Verify the final classmethod and cls result against the sample before trying new data.

Try it yourself

Practice: Run the program with the sample input, predict its output, and then test one boundary case of your own.
