But that doesn't explain the case in my code. Then it should be

15 55 60 55

Also, addresses are different for both.

Even if variable name is same, with multiple static declarations in different functions, is the scope of variable limited to repeated calls for same function only?

Solution :

(d)
• print 1( ): x = 10 + 5 = 15; since the variable is of static storage class, hence it will retain its value
between different function calls.
• print 1( ): x = 15 + 5 = 20; since it has retained its value 15.
• print 2( ): x is defined again inside the function and hence will print, x = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15. Again
when the function will be called, x = 10 + 5 = 15. Here second time also x = 10 will be there because
it is not initialized at the time of definition.
Hence output 15, 20, 15, 15.
