Static Variables are belong to a type rather than to instance of class. You can access the static variable by using the full name of the type.

Code:

class IOS {

  var iosStoredTypeProperty = "iOS Developer"

  static var swiftStoredTypeProperty = "Swift Developer"

 }

 //Access the iosStoredTypeProperty by way of creating instance of IOS Class

let iOSObj = IOS()

print(iOSObj.iosStoredTypeProperty)  // iOS Developer


 //print(iOSObj.swiftStoredTypeProperty) 
 //Xcode shows the error 
 //"static member 'swiftStoredTypeProperty' cannot be used on instance of type IOS”


 //You can access the static property by using full name of the type
print(IOS.swiftStoredTypeProperty)  // Swift Developer

Hope this helps you..
