Well if your exit code counts, then you can pass an exit code to the calling process which can forward it to the next. But what'd be the use case?

If you end your program, the memory it's using gets deallocated. So for that purpose, no. You could just store them in a file with encryption to stop users tampering, eg: scores.dat random data #1 random data #2 random data random data #3 #4 random data #5 random data ...then encrypt it. I assume tampering is the reason.

You can serialize classes and deserialize them later. That would be a more advanced topic though...
