Answer Posted / jaya prakash
b) The String is :OldString
Because ,for Static var memory is only one time created.
Eventhough the fn is multiple times called,
so
consider addr of xxx is 4444,
first strcpy copy the string "string" to addr 4444,
then g=4444;
then oldstring overwrites to location 4444.
