The static keyword used with member variables in a class limits their scope to 'class scope'. Effectively, the variables are working the same as with static in our other example, just that they are available from a class scope, and not tied to a specific instance of a class. Static member functions are similar in that they are not tied to a specific instance of a class, and can otherwise only make use of static member functions in their body (i.e. they cannot use 'this' within the static member function). ►YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeShah ►Please like and subscribe to help the channel!
