Thread: Static variable usage

Hi,

I was exploring static variable by writing code snippets. I tried below code and it ended up throwing error saying "error: storage class specified for parameter 'b'"

Why static cannot be used in func() ?

Code:

int main()
{
int a;
a=5;
func(a);
printf("%d",a);
return 0;
 }

void func(static int b)
{
b=6;
printf("%d",b);
 }

Thanks,
Shilpa
