-Static
-======
-
-The static keyword is used to create variables that are visible to
-only one function. However unlike local variables that get created
-and destroyed every time a function is called, static variables
-persist beyond the function call, preserving their data between
-function calls.
-
-
-
-Variables declared as static will only be created and initialized
-the first time a function is called.
-
-
-
-Example
--------
-
-::
-
-
-
- /* RandomWalk
- * Paul Badger 2007
- * RandomWalk wanders up and down randomly between two
- * endpoints. The maximum move in one loop is governed by
- * the parameter "stepsize".
- * A static variable is moved up and down a random amount.
- * This technique is also known as "pink noise" and "drunken walk".
