What are local and global variables?..

Answer / ashish

Local:-
These variables only exist inside the specific function that
creates them. They are unknown to other functions and to the
main program. As such, they are normally implemented using a
stack. Local variables cease to exist once the function that
created them is completed. They are recreated each time a
function is executed or called.

Global:-
These variables can be accessed (ie known) by any function
comprising the program. They are implemented by associating
memory locations with variable names. They do not get
recreated if the function is recalled.

A banker has a seif with a cipher. Not to forget the cipher, he wants to write it coded as following: each digit to be replaced with the difference of 9 with the current digit. The banker chose a cipher. Decipher it knowing the cipher starts with a digit different than 9. I need to write a program that takes the cipher from the keyboard and prints the new cipher. I thought of the following: Take the input from the keyboard and put it into a string or an array. Go through the object with a for and for each digit other than the first, substract it from 9 and add it to another variable. Print the new variable. Theoretically I thought of it but I don't know much C. Could you give me any kind of hint, whether I am on the right track or not?
