Answers:

Yes there is difference between declaring a static variable as global and local. If it is local, it can be accessed only in the function where it's declared. But if it is global, all functions can access it. But, what ever be the case, its value will be retained between functions.

All the programs are tested under Turbo C/C++ compilers.
It is assumed that,
?? Programs run under DOS environment,
?? The underlying machine is an x86 system,
?? Program is compiled using Turbo C/C++ compiler.
The program output may depend on the information based on this assumptions (for example sizeof(int) == 2 may be assumed).

i) void main()
{
int const * p=5;
printf("%d",++(*p));
}
