They have developed a system in which they want to keep track of an event occurring frequently in the system. They can do this by calling a function, increment the previous value of the event-occurring-counter, and print its value and then return. To accomplish this they need a variable which can retain its value even after the function returns so that in the next call to the function the previous value of the counter could be incremented by one and so on.
