Thinks of a situation where you need to do some work just once in a function irrespective of how many times that function is invoked then u can have a static variable which will keep a track of it. eg int main () { static int once = 0; if (!once) { once++; /*code need to be executed once*/ } /*reset of the code*/ }

eg

int main ()
{
static int once = 0;
if (!once)
{
once++;
/*code need to be executed once*/
}

/*reset of the code*/
