The variable should persist it`s value between the function calls, until the program termination .

In C++, variable declared as static it is shared by all the objects of the class. It can be accessed only by a static function.

Yes it is shared by all the objects of the class. Static member variable are always stored in data area of the program so it gets its place even before main is called.

It can be refered by  operator too. There is no need to have any object it can be accessed through :: too, It does not mean that it cannot be accessed by an object though.

Another name for STATIC VARIABLE is CLASS VARIABLE.

It is accessed in scope of class, alive through out.

It should be initialized by some value, outside the class declaration, OR it will be auto initialized by ZERO.

A function-scope or block-scope variable that is declared as static is visible only within that scope. Furthermore, static variables only have a single instance. In the case of function or block-scope variables, this means that the variable is not "automatic" and thus retains its value across function invocations.
