What is static memory allocation?

• In case of static memory allocation, memory is allocated at compile time, and memory can't be increased while executing the program. It is used in the array.
• The lifetime of a variable in static memory is the lifetime of a program.
• The static memory is allocated using static keyword.
• The static memory is implemented using stacks or heap.
• The pointer is required to access the variable present in the static memory.
• The static memory is faster than dynamic memory.
• In static memory, more memory space is required to store the variable.

For example:  
int a[10];  

The above example creates an array of integer type, and the size of an array is fixed, i.e., 10.
