Other info:

To do: Display some integers

To show: The static and non-static variables

// Demonstrates the static and non-static variable

// The .h can be removed for C++

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int funcstatic(int)

{

// local variable should exist locally...

int sum = 0;

sum = sum + 10;

return sum;

}

int main(void)

{

int r = 5, s;

// test the function calls several times...

cout<<"Without static keyword\n";

cout<<"----------------------\n\n";

s = funcstatic(r);

cout<<"1st time function call, s = "<<s<<endl;

s = funcstatic(r);

cout<<"2nd time function call, s = "<<s<<endl;

s = funcstatic(r);

cout<<"3rd time function call, s = "<<s<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output example:

Without static keyword

----------------------

1st time function call, s = 10

2nd time function call, s = 10

3rd time function call, s = 10

Press any key to continue . . .

Change the following code:

int sum = 0;

to

static int sum = 0;

and

cout<<"Without static keyword\n";

to

cout<<"With static keyword\n";

Rebuild and rerun the program. The following output should be expected.

With static keyword

-------------------

1st time function call, s = 10

2nd time function call, s = 20

3rd time function call, s = 30
