Implement new Concept Exercise: static-members

Read the linked concept-exercise documentation and languages/fsharp/reference/implementing-a-concept-exercise.md first. Compare an implemented exercise from languages/fsharp/exercises/concept/README.md and its .meta/design.md and .meta/config.json files. Done means the static-members exercise follows that structure, covers the listed objectives and prerequisites, and needs no representer or analyzer changes.

This issue describes how to implement the static-members concept exercise for the F# track.

Getting started

Please please please read the docs before starting. Posting PRs without reading these docs will be a lot more frustrating for you during the review cycle, and exhaust Exercism's maintainers' time. So, before diving into the implementation, please read up on the following documents:

• The features of v3.
• Rationale for v3.
• What are concept exercise and how they are structured?

Please also watch the following video:

• The Anatomy of a Concept Exercise.

Goal

The goal of this exercise is to teach the student the basics of the Concept of StaticMembers in F#.

Learning objectives

• Know the difference is between static and instance members.
• Know how to define static methods.
• Know how to define static properties.
• Know how to define static let bindings.
• Know how to define static do bindings.

Out of scope

• Operator overloading.
• ThreadStatic attribute.

Concepts

The Concepts this exercise unlocks are:

• static-members: know the difference is between static and instance members; know how to define static methods; know how to define static properties; know how to define static let bindings; know how to define static do bindings.

Prerequisites

This exercise's prerequisites Concepts are:

• classes: know how to define classes.
• constructors: know how to define do bindings.
• properties: know how to define properties.

Any data types used in this exercise (e.g. strings or integers) should also be added as prerequisites.

Resources to refer to

Hints

• Static methods: how to define static methods.
• Static properties: how to define static properties.
• let-bindings: how to define static let bindings.
• do-bindings: how to define static do bindings.

After

• Static methods: how to define static methods.
• Static properties: how to define static properties.
• let-bindings: how to define static let bindings.
• do-bindings: how to define static do bindings.

Representer

This exercise does not require any specific representation logic to be added to the representer.

Analyzer

This exercise does not require any specific logic to be added to the analyzer.
