C# to C++ static class -

i porting code c# c++. not sure how create class static class in c#.

// in c# public static temperatureclass{   private static int offset = 50;   private static context context;    public static calculatetemperature(){   //use a;   //use context;   }    public static context con{     set{         context = value;       }   } }  int main() {  context con1;  temperatureclass.con = con1; //con1   temperatureclass.calculatetemperature(); } 

basically temperatureclass utility class perform calculation no instances created. have few questions:

1. should c++ version of calculatetemperature remain static?
2. how initialize int offset in c++ if keep static because used static calculatetempearture function?
3. should keep con accessor static in c++ need set context?

or more generally, way of implementing utility class in c++?

1. the c++ version class containing static members
2. the offset variable being of integral type, can initialized same way in c# if declared static (but might want add const)
3. if context static, accessor must static static member functions cannot access non-static member variables

note don't think design. point of view, there isn't sense in "whole static classes" in c++, , i'd rather use set free functions in isolated namespace. if choose "static class" approach anyway, i'd recommend declaring default constructor private make clear class has not point in being instantiated.
