 Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2004 4:51 pm Post subject: static methods in class syntax |
 |
|
Hi, I'm having a syntax problem and hours of googling has yet to reveal a
solution.
I'm writing a class that contains only public static methods. It's a class
of useful misc. functions that don't require any variables.
So i'm writing in my header file:
class Helper {
public:
static int helperOne();
static void helperTwo();
etc...
};
and in my .cpp file I'm writing:
static int Helper::helperOne(){
//some code
}
static void Helper::helperTwo(){
//some more code.
}
But the compiler is complaining that I can't declare static methods at the
file scope level. I found some examples of declaring static methods on the
net, but they all did all the method declarations and definitions at the
same time in the header file and I want to split the definitions off into a
..cpp file for cleanliness sake. Can anyone correct my syntax here?

Drop the 'static' when defining the functions.
