Expert Solution

Static class member

1) We can define class members static using static keyword.

2) When we declare a member of a class as static it means no matter how many objects of the class are created, there is only one copy of the static member.

3) A static member is shared by all objects of the class.

4) All static data is initialized to zero when the first object is created, if no other initialization is present.

5) It is visible only within the class, but its lifetime is the entire program
