I just try to give you an example. void foo(int y) { int x = y; } When a block of program ie function ends the memory is automatically deallocated by compiler & that's why the variable x has no existence in our program. But for static variable, the memory is not deallocated until the entire program ie main() ends.

Normal variables are destroyed at the end of the function, because they are allocated on the stack. Static variables aren't. They always exists, even after function call.
