we know that we can access only static data members in static functions.

but can we declare and define static data members in static functions..???

Because that's the way the language was defined.

That makes no sense. All fields defined within a method are local to the method, whether the method be static or instance.

correct me if i'm wrong, in java declaring a variable with static will make it a class variable; we cannot put a class variable inside a function because it suppose to be a variable for all the members of the class.
