Register variables

Register variables are stored in the CPU registers. Its default value is a garbage value. Scope of a register
variable is local to the block in which it is defined. Lifetime is till control remains within the block in which the
register variable is defined. Variable stored in a CPU register can always be accessed faster than the one that is stored in memory. Therefore, if a variable is used at many places in a program, it is better to declare its storage class as register
Example:
register int x=5;
Variables for loop counters can be declared as register. Note that register keyword may be ignored by some
compilers.
