function help

[Aramil of Elixia]

you go into a void function, called a, and enter values for a and b, who add their user input values together and give that value to c. Now you go back to main and do some stuff and somehow get back to function a. Will a, b, and c still hold their values?

if you make them static then they hold their values until program exits.
