Static variables with function templates

Consider the following program and guess the results:

#include <iostream>
 
template <typename T>
void print(const T &value)
{
    static int times{0};
    std::cout << ++times << ": " << value << '\n';
}
 
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    print(1);
    print(3);
    print(5);
 
    print(1.2);
    print(1.4);
    print(4.1);
    return 0;
}

Surprisingly, it must give something like below:

1: 1
2: 3
3: 5
1: 1.2
2: 1.4
3: 4.1

This happens because when print is called with different datatype arguments, different function template instantiation happens with their independent static variables.
