A static function is a function whose scope is limited to the current source file. Scope refers to the visibility of a function or variable. If the function or variable is visible outside of the current source file, it is said to have global, or external, scope. If the function or variable is not visible outside of the current source file, it is said to have local, or static, scope.

pseudo code is the code written when converting the algorithm/ flow chart to actual code.
So it is in between the compiled code and flow chart. It is something that is not compiled but can be on
a notepad.

Because array index shows distance from the 1st element. Since the first element is zero distance away from itself, index starts from zero. The next element will be "index*scaling factor" distance away from 1st element. In case of integer array next elements will beÂ 1*2, 2*2, 3*2, 4*2, .................bytesÂ away from the first element .

C compiler was written in C language,that is true.But that does not say in what language first C compiler was written.I think first C compiler might have used assembly language instructions.And after that further compilers might have used this(or other compilers that was built the same way) compiler to compile the other newly build compilers.

There are cases when you need to define a constant pointer to a variable/object; for instance, when taking a function address, or when you want to protect a pointer from unintended modifications such as assignment of new address, pointer arithmetic
