> Extra credit: Why would you use a class variable?  We know that an instance variable is used to store data within the context of an instance.  Why would you want to store data in the context of a class? 

Window closeAllWindows needs to have a list of all the windows, and sends each one the close message.   Or if a instance of a class needed to communicate with other members of its class.  For example, a class of helicopter bots that fly together as a group.  They would need talk to each other to avoid collisions.


Sincerely,

Joe.
