I can declare private static member variables in a class, but what does it mean?
What is the difference private static and public static member variables?
It means these variables cannot be accessed anywhere except within the class itself.
publicmembers can be accessed from outside the class.protectedmembers can be accessed in the class and its derived classes &privatemembers can be only accessed within the class.Note that the member being
staticor not the same Access Specification rules apply to it.staticimplies the storage specification and that the some member will be shared across all the instances of the class it does not change where the member can be accessed.Good Read:
