C question

What is the correct declaration/process (in C) for storing a value in 
memory and having it permanent so it can be updated or changed 
anywhere in code?
Thanks,
Dewayne

Read up on the definition of Global Variable.

Decent C book that covers all skill levels:
"C the complete reference" by Herbert Schildt
ISBN 0-07-882101-0

It's the only one they had at Computer Literacy many years ago, so that's
got to say something.

What part of the country are you from Dewayne?

Thanks Joel!  I'm from LA.  You?  My question is more ARM specific.  I figured it might be with the global but I'm wasn't sure if it reserves a specific part of memory or if there was something else.
Thanks again,
Dewayne

"Global Variable Space - This is the memory space for global variables that
are statically allocated by the program. I.E. this memory space is fixed in
size at compile time." 1
