// The global variable "counter" is defined and initialized

// tell the compiler that it is defined in some other file)
// by using the "extern" storage class specifier.
//
// By default, variables are assumed to have external linkage,
// i.e., extern is default and strictly speaking not needed.
// But, it is considered good practice to be explicit and
// include it, since it makes the code much more readable.
