Sorry if it is not the best place to put that topic, but I'm with a doubt about some output of a code that I made in C and run in different distros. You can find the code here: https://hastebin.com/oyovisolef.cpp
If you run the code, you will see that in the third attribution something (a static memory???) went wrong: what i receive? Why that number isnt change after a reboot? Why he cant be modificated? What hell is that? haha
When I was learning C i had been teached that when i try to atribute something to a memory that memory receives it and because of that pointers and overflows are too danger if used wrong. So.. what is that memory?
I know, the code produced a overflow, the function could be void, i started the code thinking to use list instead of arrays... but i'm new on computer science and Linux and cant imagine what is happening in the domain of memory - in the domain of C i understood the problem, i think.


Sorry for my english, i'm from brazil.
If needed, i can translate the code

Please review the Site FAQ for guidance in posting your questions and general forum usage. Especially, read the link in that page, How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. The more effort you put into understanding your problem and framing your questions, the better others can help!

You have not provided much information useful for others to understand the problem. Requiring that others go to a third site and download, compile and run your code simply to understand the question is asking a lot of people who would volunteer their time to help.

The best way to get help is to reduce the problem to a minimal, shortest code example which demonstrates the problem, and which others can view in a single page along with a well formed description and question. This also helps you to understand the problem better and often leads to a solution before you are finished asking the question!

Please try to restate your question with a minimal code example pasted in page, describe what you expect of it and how that differs from what it is doing, along with any error messages, and you will receive more useful replies!

Good luck!
