The area of the program where that variable is valid. 2. The life span of that variable. static used as global varable encapsulates variables to file scope. static declared locally encapsulates variables to block/function scope, Though this local static will be alive for lifetime (of the binary) it cannot be accessed outside the block/function, so I guess scope is limited to block/function. Plz. correct me if I'm wrong. Regards, Bala
