Generally variables are stored in heap memory. When he variables are created in stack?..

Answer / vadivelt

It is wrong to say that genarally variables will be stored
in heap memmory.

Bcos Storage area always depends on the storage class of
the variable.

According to the C standard the storage will be.
1.variable with storage class 'auto' ie., local to the
function - in stack memory.
2.variable with storage class 'extern' and 'static' in data
segment.
3.variable with storage class 'register' in processor
register. But this register variable will be treated as
auto when there is no enough memory in the processor.

the variable.
If the variables are created by new i.e. dynamic memory is
created then it use heap memory.
static & extern variables are stored in static memory.
And other normal variables are stored in stack.

According to the C standard the storage will be.
1.variable with storage class 'auto' ie., local to the
function - in stack memory.
2.variable with storage class when 'extern' and 'static' are initialized stored in data segment otherwise found in bss.
3.variable with storage class 'register' in processor
register. But this register variable will be treated as
auto when there is no enough memory in the processor.
