i have to learn c++ at university next year and i cant get my head around a public static void :confused:
if you convert this word for word i have gavered
public = self explanitory
static = doesnt change
void = empty space
this is really confusing me
Static means that the value of the variable declared with this will be retained even when out of scope.
Void is often used to signify that a function returns nothing.
A void pointer is a pointer with no specific type, in order to get the value it points to you must cast a type onto it.
Is it a pointer?
a "public static void" function sounds rather like java, because the public is with the function declaration.
a public static void function is a function that:
1. is callable from outside the class it's declared in (public)
2. is not actually a member of the class; it is callable without an instance of the class. (static)
3. returns nothing (void)
Yes, it's a pointer (it just doesn't know what it's pointing at).Quote:
