static var in a method

[Gary Wessle]

Hi there

I declared a variable static in a member function. it seams to keep
its value between calls for different objects instantiated from the
same type. is this right?
I need it not to do that. only keeps memory between calls for the same
object.

any body can clear this,?

many thanks

What about making it private member of the class?

Then it should be a non-static member variable instead. That's what member
variables are for: Storing per-object state.
