Static values, does the name matter?

Hi,

if I have something like

void fooA()
{
static int ifoo = 0;
}
...
and
...
void fooB()
{
static int ifoo = 0;

ifoo++;
}

if I call fooB() does/(should?) the value of the first ifoo, (in fooA),
change?

No. fooB()'s static ifoo is different than fooA()'s. Calling fooB will
not affect anything local to fooA.
