C static variables and intialization
- by yCalleecharan
Hi, If I have a global static variable x like in this code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
static int x;
int main(void)
{
DO SOMETHING WITH x HERE
x++;
}
What will be difference if I opted to initialize x to a value first say as in
static int x = 0;
before entering "main"?
In my first case where I didn't assign a value to x, does the compiler implicitly know that x is to be set to zero as it's a static variable? I heard that we can do this with static variables.
Thanks a lot...
