Local to Global Variabel in C++ ?

How to declare a local variable in the scope but we can access it from outside the scope, in the sense that we set the local state of the variable to be a global variable

It's not possible, because variables are destroyed outside the scope. The only way is to create a global variable: int a = 1; void f() { a = 100; }

You can use static variables as Mirielle[ Exams ] demonstrated. But l want to warn you that using global variables is considered bad practise. Everything can get confusing really fast, especially when using it as Mirielle[ Exams ] showed. I don't know if that comes into the category of badly written code, but I would try to avoid it as much as possible. See this: https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/why-global-variables-are-evil/
