static var and static map

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

I have a method with some static double variables, if I make a
map<string,double> instead, will it do the same thing? apart from
assigning and accessing the values.

thank you

do I need to make the values themselves static or no need.
i.e
static map<string,int> m;
static int a = 5;
m["a"] = 5;

or just
int a = 5;
will do?

You only need to make the map static, because the map is static any
values inside the map will also be static (in effect).
