Initialize

Initialization is usually done with Variables to assign an initial value to them, before they are used for calculations or assignments.

C

Using variables without initializing them may cause the compiler to make an unexpected result such as; 2568, -30891, or another weird number.

The program may also crash.

int x; // an uninitialized variable named 'x'

int y = 0; // an initialized varaible named 'y' with the value '0'

float a = 1, b = 2, c = 3; // we can also initialize multiple variables
