What does it do? - swieberdevos - 03.09.2011

I see some people using: And the majority uses this: What does static do that new doesn't do?

static declares a variable at some function. It's like a global variable just for THAT function. That means:

static var;
if( !var )
var = 3;
else
print("This means static");

It keeps that value forever in that callback without setting back to 0 when you execute the function again.
