Static Keyword in C | C++ For Java Devs Ep. 11

Join the Discord: / discord
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.

[@GamesWithGabe]

Thanks @Apple!

[@buggybaka]

Hey gabe, this moght be extra work for you but... Instead of only openql can you make series on other libraries like sfml or sdl 2??

[@GamesWithGabe]

Hey CGO Clan, unfortunately I haven't used any of these frameworks so I probably won't be doing tutorials on them. But if I do learn them at any point I would definitely make a video on it :)

[@matanmigdal7108]

why not to use inline?

[@GamesWithGabe]

There's nothing wrong with the inline keyword, I was saying that you shouldn't use the static keyword instead of inline :)

[@popbob4780]

Where did the next tutorial go xd?

[@the-nomad-show]

My question exactly! I've watched all 11 episodes, patiently waiting for the OOP episodes. Would really have loved to see a few of those. Now I'll have to find another tutorial which covers that. Won't be easy to find anyone as good a Gabe.
