In computer programming, a static variable is a variable that has been allocated "statically", meaning that its lifetime is the entire run of the program. This is in contrast to shorter-lived automatic variables, whose storage is stack allocated and deallocated on the call stack; and in contrast to dynamically allocated objects, whose storage is allocated and deallocated in heap memory.
