global variable

[anarghya]

what is the difference between local and global variable?

[sonic]

I am new to C++ so this may not be the best explanation to your question. From my understanding a global variable is one that can be used by the whole program or function; whereas a local variable has a limited scope. A local variable does not share with the whole program.

Again, this my not be the best explanation, but as members here have helped me, I wish to try and do the same for others.

Global variables are stored in data segment of memory whereas local variables are stored in stack memory.
