Class Templates

•Template classes can support static data members. A static data member declared within a class template is considered to be itself a static data member template.

•With template classes, the compiler automatically allocates memory for the static members for each instantiation of the class.

•Each object of a particular template class instantiation shares the same static data members' memory. But, objects of different template class instantiations do not share the same static data members' memory.
