Variables in Memory

Write a C program that uses a function with a static (storage class) local variable to print out an asterisk character (*) and a space character for each time it was called. For example, the following loop would print the output shown below it.

#include <stdio.h>
void howmany( void );

int main(void) // This is all that is needed in main.
{
    int i;

    for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        howmany();
    return 0;
}
