What is the output of the following code snippet?

class test {
public:
static int n;
test () { n++; };
~test () { n--; };
};

int test::n=0;
int main () {
test a;
test b[5];
test * c = new test;
cout << a.n << endl;
delete c;
cout << test::n << endl;
return 0;
}

C++ Static key word

Class with static member variable will not created whenever a new object is created for the same class. All objects of the class "test" will access same static member variable. i.e. static int n. And also static variable are declared and defined only once during the program execution, hence values for static int n value increases

explaination

n is a static variable

int test::n=0; // initialized has default

the default constructer of class TEST increase n++

So


test a; // n now = 1 because the constructer increased it
test b[5]; // n now = 6 because the array initialized it by default 5 times ( 5 time n++ )
test * c = new test; // n now 7 because a new test is created and the constructer does n++
cout << a.n << endl; print 7
delete c; // destructer does n-- so it remove 1
cout << test::n << endl; // print 6


So the answer is 7 6
