# Class methods = Allow operations related to the class itself
# Take (cls) as the first parameter, which represents the class itself.

# Instance methods = Best for operations on instances of the class (objects)
# Static methods = Best for utility functions that do not need access to class data
# Class methods = Best for class-level data or require access to the class itself

class Student:

count = 0
total_gpa = 0

def __init__(self, name, gpa):
self.name = name
self.gpa = gpa
Student.count += 1
Student.total_gpa += gpa
