Talk:Class variable

not sure where i'm supposed to put this, top or bottom, but this is an incorrect definition. in many oop languages, including c# and java, a class member variable or (class variable) for short is instance agnostic. e.g. it can either be a static or an instance variable. can someone fix this? -bc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.125.183.186 (talk) 18:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vera Cruz, please hold your horses on these multiple edits within a short time span. This is neither the correct name for this article nor the correct definition.

The correct name is class data member and in the the definition it should be made clear that when you say all instances share the member that we are not talking about static members, and indicate that static members have one instance across all instances of the class.

I see what you're doing now. But I think class variable is the Java name for the term, static data member is the C++ name for the term. I'm not sure what the correct OOP name is. Mintguy — Preceding undated comment added 16:26, 16 January 2003 (UTC)[reply]
