Static Variables

Static variables retain their data even after the function gets done running. Then the next time you call it, it remembers the data it had from before because it is retained and persistent for the life of the web page request. Statics offer you an option instead of using global variables. Let’s take a look at how you can pass memory around in procedural coding without using globals.

In this video, you will write code to show how the static and non-static variable work. You’ll build a for loop and then call two separate functions.
