In this episode I go over the keyword static in C++ and its several different contexts. Unlike traditional programming languages, the static keyword can mean several different things depending on the way it is used in C++. I will go over the 3 ways that were carried over from C: Internal Linkage, "Static Member Functions", and Local Static Variables. Once we cover OOP I will cover the final use of the static keyword in C++ which is the traditional use of static in the OOP sense.
