Let's say that you have the following C code (it's just a small part of a much larger program)
int result;

void calc(int x){
result = 999 + x;
}
What can you say about the storage allocation of result ?

Accepted Answer

The memory for  result  will be allocated statically and will be included in the binary image that the compiler produces for this source file.

Answer

Actually this code will not compile since  result  can not be used inside of the  calc  function without a variable type declaration

Answer

The memory for  result  will be allocated statically but it may actually be located in one of the other binary images that will be linked together to form the full application.

Answer

The memory for  result  will be allocated at run-time (on the stack) when the function is actually executed.

Answer

The memory for  result  will be allocated at run-time (on the heap) when the assignment to  result  is made
