1. Instance methods:
These methods are bound to the instance(object) of the class.
Used to access/modify the object state. If we use instance variables inside a method, such methods are called instance methods. It must have a self parameter to refer to the current object

2. Class Methods
Class methods work with class variables and are accessible using the name rather than its object.
@classmethod decorator is used to create class methods. cls is used to refer to the class just like self is used to refer to the object of the class.

3. Static Methods
usually limited to class. They have no direct relation to class or instance variables. They are used as utility functions inside the class or when we don't want the inherited classes.
@staticmethod decorator is used to define static methods.
