How to assign a value to a variable inside of a class?

Question

I declared a global variable and I tried to change the value of it but it gives me
: error 'variable' does not name a type

```
#include <iostream>
int variable = 2343;
class Something
{
variable = 33223;
};
int main()
{
// nothing
}
```
Is there a way to assign a value to it?
Also, I won't declare the variable inside of class

Answer 1

Yes,you need to apply the scope operator :: . So the code would go
::variable=33223;
The way you tried to change the variable, is making the compiler think you are trying to create a new variable for the class.
But I don't think you can do it in a class like you have done.
Maybe put it in a function.
Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

I tried but it gives me this error
: 'variable' in namespace '::' does not a name type
