Example:

1. ' This example shows how to use the static keyword to retain the value of

   ' the variable i in sub Joe. If Dim is used instead of Static then i

   ' is empty when printed on the second call as well as the first.

   Sub Main

   1. For i = 1 to 2

      1. Joe 2

      Next i

   End Sub

    

   Sub Joe( j as integer )

   1. Static i

      print i

      i = i + 5

      print i

   End Sub
