Declare Public Variables in C

[squirrelly1]

How do I declare a public array or other variables using C?

I need to know syntax and placement of code...

thanx,

No such things as access specifiers in C. Just declare a global variable somewhere (not inside a function).

syntax of variable declarations:
storage-class-specifier type-specifier variables;

storage-class-specifier: static | extern | volatile | register | auto

type-specifier: [const] (default types | structs | unions | typedefs)

variables: variable{, variable...}

variable: [* [const]] identifier[\[size\]][= initialValue]

initialValue: literal

identifier: /[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*/

size: constant positive integer

Did I miss something? I made it up myself, it's not copied or anything...

An example:

#include <stdio.h>
int global_value=1;  // outside of any function or in the header file

int main(){
      int local_value;  // inside a function
      local_value=2;
      printf("local_value: %d global_value: %d\n",
                       local_value, global_value);
      return 0;   
}
