#include <iostream> class Car { private: static std::string colour; std::string brand; std::string state; int model; public: Car(int model, std::string brand, std::string state = "off") { this->model = model; this->brand = brand; this->state = state; } void engineOn() { state = "on"; } void knowState() { std::cout << "Is " << brand << " ready?" << std::endl; } void isReady() { if(state == "on") std::cout << colour << " " << brand << " is ready to go!" << std::endl; else std::cout << colour << " " << brand << " is not ready!" << std::endl; } }; // Definition of a protected static member // Legal expression std::string Car::colour = "Red"; int main() { Car chevy(1965, "Chevy Mint", "on"); chevy.knowState(); chevy.isReady(); Car ferrari(1965, "Ferrari" ); ferrari.knowState(); ferrari.isReady(); } Output: Is Chevy Mint ready? Red Chevy Mint is ready to go! Is Ferrari ready? Red Ferrari is not ready!
