rustHow do I create a variable with a static lifetime in Rust?

A variable with a static lifetime in Rust is one that is valid for the entire duration of the program. This is achieved by declaring the variable with the static keyword.

static VAR: i32 = 5;

This declares a variable VAR with a static lifetime and an initial value of 5.

• static: keyword used to declare a variable with a static lifetime
• VAR: name of the variable
