In the C variables and types post I introduced how to work with variables.

In this post I want to mention the difference between global and local variables.

A local variable is defined inside a function, and it’s only available inside that function.

Like this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  char j = 0;
  j += 10;
  printf("%u", j); //10
}

j is not available anywhere outside the main function.
