Will a value live perpetually when there's no reference to it?

Question

Suppose the following minimal code:

#include 
char character = \'c\';
int main (void)
{
    char character = \'b\';
    printf(\"The current value         


        

Answer 1

#include 
char character = 'c';
int main (void)
{
    char character = 'b';
    printf("The current value of head is %c\n", character);
    printc();
}

void printc()
{
    printf("%c", character);
}

It makes it all clear. It is not destroyed it is just shadowed.

Output: The current value of head is b
c
