Answer Posted / abdur rab

A member function can be declard as Const by considering
the fact that they contain a hidden "this pointer" to be a
pointer to a const object. However Static methods do not
have the "this pointer", and hence can't be const or
virtual.

Hence it is illegal to declare a static function as const.

The C++ language standard stipulates at section 9.4.1
that "[...] A static
member function shall not be declared const
