extern

The extern storage class declares a global variable that is defined in another source module. It is used as follows:

extern data-type name;

Where

data-type is the data type of the variable.
name is the name of the variable.

When you use extern to declare a variable, the variable cannot be initialized (it is already initialized where it is defined).
