Static Members
•Shared properties are represented by static class members. Static class members can be either static data members or static member functions. These members can be declared in either the public, protected, or private sections of a class
interface.
•When a member function is declared as static, we are not limited to using this function through an object
of that class. This
function can be used anywhere it is legal to use the class itself. This is because static
member functions
are invoked independent of the objects
and do not contain a this pointer.
• It can be called via: class::function(args)
