Static Functions in C++

Question

I\'ve read a few posts on here about static functions, but still am running into trouble with implementation.

I\'m writing a hardcoded example of Dijkstra\'s algorit

Answer 1

You should call it this way:

Alg::dijkstra();

Limitations

• Can't call any other class functions that are not static.
• Can't access non static class data members.
• Can instantiate an object via new class() when constructor is private/protected. E.g. a factory function.
