static function ??????????????????

1. Static information will be loaded even before the constructor.
2. Static is the only entity which can be loaded by using both ways object reference and class reference. It means static method doesn't require objects . Ex: program.add()


Where can we use static function?

Information which can't be changed and information which is sharable and loaded intially. Ex: DB connection (pulling and pushing records) , web server banner, etc.....

Yes sridevi your right and one more pint is if you create any static method you can call that method directly by using class name.

For example in .net we have math class , it consists round,Max,Min and etc methods. So you can call directly those methods with the class name Math

Example:

System.Math.Round(33.44,1);

It will return 33.4

static functions are functions that are only visable to other functions in the same file.

Different meanings

- When specified on a function declaration, it makes the function local to the file.
- When specified with a variable inside a function, it allows the vairable to retain its value between calls to the function.

Hi Suraj,


This is the sample code.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class Program
{
static Stack<int> GetStack()
{
Stack<int> stack = new Stack<int>();
stack.Push(100);
stack.Push(1000);
stack.Push(10000);
return stack;
}

static void Main()
{
var stack = GetStack();
Console.WriteLine("--- Stack contents ---");
foreach (int i in stack)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
}

Output

--- Stack contents ---
10000
1000
100
