Static in C++: Local, Global, Attribute

This lecture covers the three uses of the static keyword in C++. It explains how static can be associated with a local variable, a global variable, and an attribute, highlighting the scope, lifespan, and confidentiality aspects. Through examples and code snippets, the instructor demonstrates the implications of using static in different contexts, such as limiting scope, sharing values, and ensuring initialization. The lecture also delves into the externalization of definitions and the impact on modules and classes. By the end, students will have a clear understanding of the nuances of static in C++ and how it influences variable behavior and program execution.
