What is the difference between global variables and local variables? Give an example to illustrate the same. (C++)

Hello Arisha, Global variables can be accessed by any function within the class / package, where it is declared. Local variables, on the other hand, can be accessed only within a particular function where it has been declared. E.g.: int a=10; int disp() {cout a; //displays value 10 int b=5; cout b; //displays value 5} cout a;//displays 10 as a is global variable cout b; //Error. As b is a local variable defined in function disp(). Hence, cannot be accessed outside of the function. I hope it helps. If so, kindly upvote this answer. If you have any further questions, kindly revert.
