Explanation:

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains a class Sample. In the Sample class, we created a shared member count. Here, we increased the value of count in the constructor by one. As we know that shared members are common for all objects. Here, we created the method ObjectCount() to print the total number of objects created in the class.
