15 mins readPython Static Members and Readonly Modifiers
In Plain English
Static members belong to the class constructor function itself rather than instances. Readonly fields can only be initialized at declaration or inside the constructor.
Core Rules to Remember
Static Members: Accessed via ClassName.member without creating class instances.
Readonly Fields: Guarantees property values cannot be mutated after construction.
