English Wikipedia - The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Static variable
In computer programming, a static variable is a variable that has been allocated statically—whose lifetime or "extent" extends across the entire run of the program. This is in contrast to the more ephemeral automatic variables (local variables are generally automatic), whose storage is allocated and deallocated on the call stack; and in contrast to objects whose storage is dynamically allocated in heap memory.
