You are here : C STORAGE CLASS STATIC STORAGE CLASS

Static Storage Class :

• Keyword : static
• Storage Location : Main memory
• Initial Value : Zero and can be initialize once only.
• Life : depends on function calls and the whole application or program.
• Scope : Local to the block.

Syntax :

	static [data_type] [variable_name];
	

Example :

	static int a;
	

There are two types of static variables as :

a) Local Static Variable
b) Global Static Variable

Static storage class can be used only if we want the value of a variable to persist between different function calls.

Program :

/*  Program to demonstrate static storage class.

void incre(void)
{
	int avar=1;
	static int svar=1;
	avar++;
	svar++;
	printf("\n\n Automatic variable value : %d",avar);
	printf("\t Static variable value : %d",svar);
}

Output :

Automatic variable value : 2	Static variable value : 2

Automatic variable value : 2	Static variable value : 3

Automatic variable value : 2	Static variable value : 4_
