here main() is called again in main function
this leads to recursion....

the function is called until a become 0.
value is retained as static key word is used.

not much clear about usage of "%3d"

Answer / pratik panchal

output:5 4 3 2 1

static int store the value of variable for once and
periodically changes its value as the variable value changes
and a-- is done so the assigned value on the next line will
automatically overwrite the value of a.

%3d means print 5 then 2 spaces and 4 and so on..,.main is
called until if statement gets false..if(5) is a true
condition.
