Are static vars in a method body shared by all instances
c++
Solution
`static`, here, operates as in any regular function.
Which means that `i` is `static` within `MyClass::method2`, so there is one and only one instance of it.
Having one instance of a variable per object is what instance variables are for.
Problem
``` class MyClass { public: void method2() { static int i; ... } }; ``` Will every instance of `MyClass` share one value `i`, or will each instance have its own copy?
