I want to declare string constants that will be used across various classes in the project. I am considering two alternatives Option 1: #header file class constants{ static const string const1; }; #cpp file const string constants::const1="blah"; Option 2: #header file namespace constants{ static const string const1="blah"; }; Just wondering what would be a better implementation.
