The static Storage Class

#include <stdio.h>

/* function declaration */
void func(void);

static int count = 5; /* global variable */

main() {

   while(count--) {
      func();
   }

   return 0;
}

/* function definition */
void func( void ) {

   static int i = 5; /* local static variable */
   i++;

   printf("i is %d and count is %d\n", i, count);
}


output is
i is 6 and count is 4
i is 7 and count is 3
i is 8 and count is 2
i is 9 and count is 1
i is 10 and count is 0
