Static means something different in C++ compared to C. In C, static refers to a storage class for storing specific types of variables. In C++, static refers to member functions and variables associated with the entire class. In this course, learn how to mark a member variable within a class as static, initialize a static member variable, and access it from methods within and outside the class. Next, discover how static member functions can be used for class-level behavior. Finally, learn how to define and use a destructor. After completion of the course, you'll be able to create and use static variables, access them using the scope resolution operator, and instantiate and deallocate a pointer in constructors and destructors.
