I am not clear about the life time of global variable and static variable I think both initialize only once and stay alive for life time of program
what is difference between global variable and static variable in the context of life time
Edit : static may be local or global. What is difference between local static and global static variable. I think the difference is only with the scope not in life time

All have a lifetime the same as the program.Code:int a; static int b; void foo ( ) { static int c; }
All are default initialised to 0, unless you provide some other initialiser.
Then
a is visible to the entire program.
b is visible to all the functions in the current source file that appear after the definition of b.
c is visible only to the function in which it is defined.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
