    Red face Returning a static int as an int??

    Hi all

    does any one know if it's correct to use a Static int and then return it as an int?

    for example
    int IncJobCount()
    {
    static int job_count=0;
    job_count=job_count++;
    return job_count;

    } thanx alot

    To start at 0, all you need is
    static int job_count=0;
    return job_count++;


    To start at 1
    static int job_count=0;
    return ++job_count;
