    Hmmm... smells like homework.

    1) a variable that gets lots of frequent flier miles
    2) what sort of a question is that?
    3) well... it's difficult to tell without the code.

    These are all really basic questions... not too difficult.

    >What is a global varible ?

    A global variable is a variable using the greatest possible scope.

    >What case is used in C programming ?

    C is case sensitive if you asked for that.

    >What is the constant 'x' used for ?

    uhm... you should probably look that up in your own code, there is no global definition of a constant x.

    Good luck. This seems to be a homework assignment.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    oh please....
    by reading any tutorial (or if you had attended programming classes) you would find that out.

    do your own homework.

    local variables are variables that can only be called once ever and you must name them loCalVaRiAbLe1 then 2 and so on....

    you must also preced them with _i_will_pay__attention_to_my_lectureres__in_future

    c is a cse sensitive langugae and everything MUST be written in CAPS

    x is a very special character that closes all streams, files exits the program and o/s and makes you a coffee when its done

    But it doesn't add cream (althought Slashdot says that Atari's planning to add that when they release their new version of C this Desember )
