Static is protected one and you cannot acess the variable
in other files/functions.It is declared in the top of the
file/function.The value retains tho,t the program.

Answer / indira amit
Variables defined local to a function disappear at the end
of the function scope. So when we call the function again,
storage for variables is created and
values are reinitialized. So if we want the value to be
extent throughout the life of a program, we can define the
local variable as "static." Initialization is performed only
at the first call and data is retained between func calls.
Had it been gloal variable, it would have been available
outside the scope of the function, but static variable is
not available outside the scope of a function (helpful in
localizing errors - as it can't be changed outside the func
scope).

Answer / abdur rab
Static remains throughout the program, however its scope is
limited to that file alone. If a program consists of
multiple files, you want a variable to be seen by the
entire file and do not want that variable to be seen by the
other files, then mark is as static
static int a;
as a global variable

I use turbo C which allocates 2 bytes for integers and 4 bytes for long. I tried to declare array of size 500000 of long type using the following code... long *arr; arr=(long *)(malloc)(500000 * sizeof(long)); It gives a warning that "Conversion may lose significant digits in function main"... And the resulting array size was very less around 8400 as compared to 500000. Any suggestions will be welcomed....
