How to call C++ static method

Question

Is it possible to return an object from a static method in C++ like there is in Java? I am doing this:

class MyMath {
    public:
       static MyObject calc         


        

Answer 1

What am I doing wrong?

You are simply using incorrect syntax... the :: operator (scope resolution operator) is how you would access classes or members in different namespaces:

int main() { 
    MyObject o = MyMath::calcSomething(); // correct syntax
}

Do I have to instantiate MyMath?

No.
