Code:
• Static local declarations
A local variable is destroyed when the execution leaves the compound block
in which the variable was created. Local variables in a function only exist
during the run time of that function. Each new run of the function creates
and initializes new local variables. When a local variable is declared with
the keyword static rather than new, the variable remains in existence after
the end of a function. This means that static local variables provide pri-
vate, permanent storage that is accessible only from a single function (or
compound block). Like global variables, static local variables can only be
initialized with constant expressions.
• Static global declarations
A static global variable behaves the same as a normal global variable, except
that its scope is restricted to the file that the declaration resides in. To
declare a global variable as static, replace the keyword new by static.

• Progressive initiallers for arrays
The ellipsis operator continues the progression of the initialisation constants
for an array, based on the last two initialized elements. The ellipsis operator
(three dots, or “ ...”) initializes the array up to its declared size.
Examples:
Listing: array initializers
new a[10] = { 1, ... } // sets all ten elements to 1
new b[10] = { 1, 2, ... } // b = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
new c[8] = { 1, 2, 40, 50, ... } // c = 1, 2, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90
new d[10] = { 10, 9, ... } // d = 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
