Most variables have a limited scope in which they are accessible (within the function where they are declared, but not in functions that call or are called by that function). A global variable is declared outside of any function, and is accessible to any part of the program. Typically they will be declared just after the #include statements. That can make some things easier to write, but global variables can make for debugging headaches if you are not very careful with them. Personally, I avoid them whenever possible. Did that help?
