Info

In C++, static members of a class refer to variables and methods that belong to the class itself rather than to individual instances (objects) of the class. A static member is shared among all instances of a class and is only initialized once when the class is loaded. To declare a static member, you use the static keyword in the member's declaration.

  • If a function of a class is static, in the class definition, it is declared using the keyword static in its heading.

  • If a member variable of a class is static, it is declared using the keyword static,

  • A public static member, function, or variable of a class can be accessed using the class name and the scope resolution operator.
