Created page with "In object-oriented programming, a '''member variable''' (sometimes called a '''member field''') is a variable that is associated with a specific object, and accessible for..."

New page

In [[object-oriented programming]], a '''member variable''' (sometimes called a '''member field''') is a variable that is associated with a specific object, and accessible for all its methods (member functions).

== Types in class-based language ==

In class-based languages, these are distinguished into two types:

* If there is only one copy of the variable shared with all instances of the class, it is called a class variable or static member variable
* If each instance of the class has its own copy of the variable, the variable is called an instance variable.
