Ok, then it looked like this:
//class declaration:
class CClassName
{
    // stuff
    static int MethodName(int SomeVar);
    // other stuff
};
//class definition:
int CClassName::MethodName(int  SomeVar)  
{  
    // implementation stuff
} 
Here static tells you that MethodName() is a class method rather  than
an instance method.

No,  these  are  the  two possibilities. It's just the wording that is
different.
