Initialisation
Definition:
Assigning an initial value to a variable at the time of declaration or later.
Detailed Explanation
- Initialisation stores a first value into a variable.
- It can occur at declaration or at a later point in the program.
- Helps avoid undefined or unexpected behavior from uninitialized memory.
Example
// Declare and initialise // int score = 0;
// Declare first, initialise later // int score; // score = 0;
