static variable
A variable in programming that retains its value across function calls and exists for the lifetime of the program. Used in languages like C, C++, and Java.
A static variable retains its value even after the function ends.
In this class, a static variable is used to count the number of instances.
動的変数 (dynamic variable) is allocated and deallocated at runtime, while 静的変数 has a fixed lifetime and retains its value.
グローバル変数 (global variable) is accessible throughout the program, whereas 静的変数 may be limited to a file or function scope but still persists.
Compound of 静的 (static) and 変数 (variable). A direct calque from English 'static variable' used in computing contexts.
