 Incorrect; writing
 
     class Foo
     {
         static const int foo = 42;
     };
 
 only provides a handy way of keeping the '42' in the header file.  It does
 not provide a definition, only a declaration.  Writing the above only means
 that in the ".cc" file, you can write
 
     const int Foo::foo;
 
 instead of 
 
     const int Foo::foo = 42;
 
 You should either find more textbooks on C++, or buy a copy of the standard.
 (At $18 for a PDF it's pretty cheap, although the reading is dry.)

 Not true.  You can't do that when its initialized inline in the class, the
 compiler will tell its that its defined twice.
