C++ Static class variables and member functions

Let's talk about static class variables and member functions in classes. Here's a tutorial explaining the static keyword when used on variables and functions belonging to classes.

Ive done so much C#, and getting into C++, I was running into so many issues with static, and you made it so simple to understand. Thank you !

Thank you for this. Its amazing how I watch other videos 10 times to try and understand something.
But all I need is someone explaining it in a different way.

So thank you for that.

That cleared up the static method usage for me, thanks.

Great and straight to the point tutorial!
If you don't mind expanding on the topic of the the "strange" initialization that has to be done in the outer scope of the class I would appreciate it very much!

This was a really good explanation. I finally have a concrete understanding of this now. Seen some of your other videos too. Really good at giving clear explanations.

include<iostream.h>
int main()
char a;
{ cout<<"Hi, prof..", endl;
cout<<"thank you for tutorial", a;
cin>>a;
getch();
return (0);
}

I was wondering about why adding 'inline' to a static member variable allows it to be initialized within the class definition.
