Why is static members called members of class?

Answer 1

HonFu are you trying to say that, if 2 instances of a class are trying to manipulate a static member data then they will be referring to the same memory
So changes made by one object will get reflected on another object,

-------------------
Another answer maybe:
Because you don't require to refer a object to call/get a static data, just class name is enough.

Answer 2

Because they exist only once for the entire class instead of every instance having a version of its own.
