look back for the "static" key word

this example shows one usage of the static, 

when a function is called many times, the static variable is just the same one

- (void)move

{

    static BOOL bRight = YES;

    

    CGRect tmp = m_btn.frame;

    if (bRight) 

    {

        tmp.origin.x += detaX;

    }

    else

    {

        tmp.origin.x -= detaX;

    }

    

    if (tmp.origin.x > 460) 

    {

        bRight = NO;

    }

    

    if (tmp.origin.x < 250) 

    {

        bRight = YES;

    }

    

    m_btn.frame = tmp;

}
