This is a simple example of the static keyword with a variable.

thank you!! you literally made my day!!

[mrinmoyhalder]

even if 'a' is static but it's local variable of Increment(), then it should die after every iteration of Increment(), isn't it????
Or, the concept of local variable doesn't fit in case of static variable.
Which one is correct, please clear my doubt??

Instead of using static with in a function, can't we use a global variable. Then there won't be any use of static there

Never ever ever use a goto statement in this form.
Avoid using them at all costs. Very disappointing to see a C tutorial with a goto statement in it.
