 "But from a real life standpoint, that looks like something the evil villains in a superhero movie would use to get around in"
Reading the phrases "real life" and "evil villains in a superhero movie" in the same sentence makes me giggle. - Alan Anderson [more] |

Re: Why Static Variables?
The keyword here is "scope".
Scope for a global and a static in a local function is different. A static is persistant, therefore the permanent portion of the memory map is larger, more memory usage (a disadvantage). But the static could be local to a function. A global is essentially static, but the scope is precariously large. |
