    You can declare static variable anywhere in the class but you have to initialize it outside the class.
    Example:
    class MyClass
    {
    static int staticVar;
    public:

    MyClass()
    {
    staticVar=10;
    cout << "staticVar =:" << staticVar << endl;
    }


    };

    int MyClass::staticVar;
    void main()
    {
    MyClass obj;

    }
