Today I am going to explain the most important concept of C language.
If you have gone through any interview , It is quite possible that you came across the questions like:
So, I will be explaining the storage class concept in full detail with all its types.
Let us start by understanding What it means by a Storage class?
We know that Every variable posses the following property:
All the above properties are tied to the variables , and the specifiers consisting of these properties specify the storage class of a variable...
So, We can say that Storage class is an attribute/specifier which defines Lifetime,scope,storage and default value of a variable.
For defining different lifetime,scope,storage and default value the storage classes are categorized into 4 categories:
1.)Auto
2.)Static
3.)Extern
4.)Register
So, just by saying that this is an auto variable, a static variable , a extern variable or a register variable we are
telling about all the four properties of a variable.
Explanation of all the classes coming soon one by one.
If you have gone through any interview , It is quite possible that you came across the questions like:
- What do you mean by storage class in C?
- How many storage classes are there in C?
- Explain the different storage classes in C ?
So, I will be explaining the storage class concept in full detail with all its types.
Let us start by understanding What it means by a Storage class?
We know that Every variable posses the following property:
- Lifetime: Lifetime of a variable defines "till what time we can access a particular variable".
- Scope: Scope of a variable defined "Where we can access a variable in our hundred and thousands lines of code".
- Default value: what is the default value of the variable when it is only declared that is programmer has not assigned any value to it explicitly.
- Storage place: Storage of a variable defined Where the variable is getting the memory to be accessed.
All the above properties are tied to the variables , and the specifiers consisting of these properties specify the storage class of a variable...
So, We can say that Storage class is an attribute/specifier which defines Lifetime,scope,storage and default value of a variable.
For defining different lifetime,scope,storage and default value the storage classes are categorized into 4 categories:
