I have two C files and one header that are as follows:

Header file header.h:

char c = 0;

file1.c:

#include "header.h"

file2.c:

#include "header.h"

I was warned about 'duplicate definition' when compiling. I understand the cause as the variable c is defined twice in both file1.c and file2.c; however, I do need to reference the header.h in both c files. How should I overcome this issue?
