Initializing a static varible

If I have a class that has a private static varible (say and int statInt) how do I initialize it. I can't do it in constructor because it exists for all class obj...

What is the correct syntax for this?

NOMAD

Code:

---

class a
{
private:
  static int v;
public:
  void m();
};

int a::v = 0;

void a::m()
{

}

---

Z.

oh well i guess that logical (*wink*)

And if I placed the static varible in the public section could I do a::v = 0 from my main? If so does it require an instance of the class to be instanciated? Then would I use the the . operator?

No, it's the same syntax no matter what the visibility is.
