Global variables are accessible from any part of the program and can be modified by any function.

• Global variables are declared outside of any function.

• They can be accessed and modified by any function in the program.

• If a function modifies the value of a global variable, the new value is visible to all other functions.

Program to transpose a matrix

• Iterate through rows and columns of the matrix

Pre and post fix operators are used to increment or decrement a value before or after it is used in an expression.

• Pre-fix operator (++x) increments the value of x and returns the new value.

• Post-fix operator (x++) returns the value of x and then increments it.

• Both operators can be used with variables of numeric data types.

• They can also be used with pointers to increment or decrement the memory address they point to.
