Re: How to access the per-class constant from a member function?

Hi Mehdi, Even Foo::HELLO works. My question is why simple HELLO inside a member function does not work. Why are we not able to access the static and const members of a class from inside a class member function like the way with other member variables.? Any special reasons.
