QUESTION IS HOW TO MAKE THAT CLASS STATIC?
There is variable cons under console class. I use this in following way:
string myString="this is my string";
cons<<myString>>myString<<myString;
QUESTION IS: WOULD I MAKE console CLASS STATIC so I would not have to use cons variable BUT
MAKE console<<myString>>myString<<myString;
?????????
