Learn and Master C Programming - Using 'static' keyword with global variables and functions in C

The video tutorial explains the use of the static keyword in C programming. It covers how static can be applied to global variables and functions to limit their visibility to a single file, preventing name collisions during linking. The tutorial includes a practical demonstration in Visual Studio, showing how to set up a project and use static to manage variable and function scope. It also addresses common issues like name collisions and provides solutions using static.
