I have around 14 void functions that contains processes needed in order for my program to work
and all the 14 functions share the same variables so I thought of making them into static Global.
After putting <stdio.h> and all the other headers needed, I have 2 typedef struct and after that, I have put 11 static int variables and 3 static struct variables.
I have checked every single function if the struct variables have been storing the data properly, and apparently, only the void function that is first called in int main() stores the correct data into the struct variable.
When the 2nd void function is called, the global variables from the 1st void function contains no data at all.
Can anyone tell me if using the global variables for multiple functions to work is wrong?
