Storing global data.
To access a hidden global variable, use the scope resolution operator ::
A global variable is a place of data storage which multiple modules of application (sometimes all modules) can access to read and modify the variable's content. A macro is something altogether different. A macro is a set of instructions, typically used to save keystrokes when coding, and to maintain code readability. While macros can reference, declare or use variables (including global variables), macros and variables are quite different and cannot be compared.
Only global/static variables are, local variables aren't.
The variables which are declared outside the main() function is known as global variables and they can be used anywhere in the program. And, the variables which used declare inside the main() function is known as local variables and they can be used inside the main() function only. Example: #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int x,y; // global variables void main() { int a,b; // Local variables ------------ ---------------------- --------------------- getch(); }
Constants, static variables and global variables are allocated in the program's data segment at compile time. Local variables are allocated on the stack at runtime. Variables cannot be allocated on the heap, you must use a constant, static variable, global variable or local variable to store the start address of a dynamic memory allocation. The variable must be a raw pointer or a reference handle (a smart pointer).
Global variables are globally accessible. Java does not support globally accessible variables due to following reasons:The global variables breaks the referential transparencyGlobal variables creates collisions in namespac
In my opinion it is rarely a good idea to use global variables, unless you need to refer to them across modules, or their values need to be keep for a long period of program execution. Local variables should always be used when their lifetime is short, usually only in the module they are declared in. Global variables lifetime will be for the length of the program execution.
Another name of global variable is "EXTERNAL VARIABLES".
Variables that are declared globally outside every program are called global variables.

The most logical variables are probably stance and how good you warmup
Global variables can be seen in all blocks of your program, when local variables are visible only within the block where it's declared.
No.
They is not.
The only disadvantage of a global variable is that you cannot directly encapsulate them. Other than that, there is no real disadvantage of global variables.
There's no global variables in Java.
