c# purpose of static

Comment

The purpose is for a shareable tool that can be used when needed, 
it's like a css utility class. It makes no sense to instantiate this since 
its supposed to be used frequently. It is constant/unchanging.

-Static members
A shared tool for use in any appropriate need, example DateTime.Now or 
Math.PI or Console.WriteLine().

-Static classes
A static class is like a toolset that contains static members/tools. 
The purpose of a static class is to provide a convenient way to organize 
and access utility functions, shared functionalities, constants, aka static 
members. 

By making the class static, it restricts the creation of instances and 
ensures that all members are accessible directly through the class itself. 
This promotes encapsulation, as the static class encapsulates related 
functionality within a single entity.

what does static mean in c#

Comment

In C#, static means something which cannot be instantiated. You cannot create an object of a static class and cannot access static members using an object. C# classes, variables, methods, properties, operators, events, and constructors can be defined as static using the static modifier keyword.

(static) >> means that the method belongs to the Program class 
			and not an 'object' of the Program class.

c# static

Comment

public class MyClass
{
	//Instance variable to be automatically set to five
	public int instanceVar = 5;
    //Variable belonging to the type/class
    public static int typeVar = 10;
}
public class MainClass
{
  void Main()
  {
      //Field is accesible as it is a variable belonging to the type as a whole
      Console.WriteLine(MyClass.typeVar);
      //The following would throw an error, because the type isn't an instance
      //Console.WriteLine(MyClass.instanceVar)
      //Create an instance of the defined class
      MyClass instance = new MyClass();
      //Writes 5, because we told it to be set to 5 upon creation of the object
      Console.WriteLine(instance.instanceVar);
      instance.instanceVar += 22; //Add 22 to the instance's variable
      NyClass second = new MyClass(); //Create a second instance, named 'second'
      Console.WriteLine(instance.instanceVar);//27, unless i did my math wrong :/
      //The second instance has it's own variable separate from the first
      Console.WriteLine(second.instanceVar);//5
  }
}
