Calling Function Without Instance (c++)

Question

I want to call static method with dot operator. How can I do it.

class Console{
public:
static void WriteLine(string x){
cout<< x<< endl;
}
};

int main(){
string name = "Mustafa";
Console.WriteLine(name); //I want to call like that
Console::WriteLine(name); //but i just can do it like that

I mean is there any way to call WriteLine function with dot operator (without instance).

Answer 1

The very definition of dot operator is to evoke a method or attribute of a class instance/object and not the class itself.
So, I believe you are just left with the option of declaring your Console class 'static' and using the '::' referencer.

Answer 2

No, this is how c++ works.
