Transcription: You should use the class name and the scope resolution operator to refer to a static member of a class. Alternately, you can use the member access operator, dot, and arrow exactly as you would for non-static members. The syntax for a pointer to a static data member or a static member function is similar to that for a pointer to an object that is not a member of a class. Use the scope resolution operator to identify the member when assigning the pointer. You dereference the pointer the same way you would dereference a pointer to a non-member object.
