subject: How is memory handled?

If I were to create a variable, as such:

char * foo[] = "For whom the bell tolls";

how does the heap memory get cleared where that static string is 
located?

If I were to create the variable as:

static char * foo[] = "For whom the bell tolls";

would it be cleared any differently?
