Are static fields inherited?

Question

When static members are inherited, are they static for the entire hierarchy, or just that class, i.e.:

class SomeClass
{
public:
    SomeClass(){total++;}
           


        

Answer 1

#include
using namespace std;

class A
{
public:
    A(){total++; cout << "A() total = "<< total << endl;}
    static int total;
};

int A::total = 0;

class B: public A
{
public:
    B(){total++; cout << "B() total = " << total << endl;}
};

int main()
{
    A a1;
    A a2;
    B b1;

    return 0;
}

It would be:

A() total = 1
A() total = 2
A() total = 3
B() total = 4
