Returning a local static item in C

Question

In C, the scope of a variable staticthrough a file. In the following code, the function returns a static variable.

int fun(){
    static int i = 10;
    return i;
}

int main() {
    printf("%d\n", fun());
    return 0;
}

And printed output 10.

So, returns local static to C behavior undefined or well-defined?

In this snippet, you are actually returning the value (of the variable), so without storage the staticcode is fine.
