Learn and Master C Programming - declaring static variables inside functions with 'static' keyword in C

The video tutorial explains the concept of static variables in programming. It demonstrates how static variables are initialized only once and retain their values between function calls, unlike local variables that are reinitialized every time. The static keyword allows a variable to behave like a global variable with local scope, making it useful in various programming scenarios. A practical example is provided to illustrate the behavior of static variables.
