1. extern

   In the C programming language, an external variable is a variable defined outside any function block. On the other hand, a local (automatic) variable is a variable defined inside a function block. As an alternative to automatic variables, it is possible to define variables that are external to all functions, that is, variables that can be accessed by name by any function. (This mechanism is rather like Fortran COMMON or Pascal variables declared in the outermost block.) Because external variables are globally accessible, they can be used instead of argument lists to communicate data between functions. Furthermore, because external variables remain in existence permanently, rather than appearing and disappearing as functions are called and exited, they retain their values even after the functions that set them have returned.

1. extern

   In programming, "extern" is a keyword used in C, C++, and other programming languages to specify that a variable or function is defined in another source file or shared amongst multiple source files. It is used to tell the compiler that the declared variable or function exists, even though the compiler may not find it during compilation. Essentially, it lets a variable or function be globally accessible across different files.
