What is the difference between static method and member function?

Question

All the class objects are going to use the member function only .Unlike Member variables , separate memory space for each member function are not allocated for each objects and all objects are going to share them.So apart from invoking (class.function and obj.function) what is the real difference between them and which one is best to use

Answer 1

Prakash yes. You can get an error message 'cannot reference [thing] in a static context' and this is the reason. Static members do not belong to an instance so can only refer to the non-instance (static) members
