#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int a=1 ,b; a=b; cout << b+a; return 0; }

Question

Why this code outputs 16

Answer 1

b has an undefined value that happens to be 8.

Answer 2

Zen is there any specific reason why it has value of 8 only?
I tried playing with the code a bit but everytime the undefined var has value of 8 meaning it isn't random 🤔

Answer 3

First you assign 1 to a
Then you make b equal to a so b now is 1
cout << b+a prints the sum of a and b => a=1; b=1 ==> a+b =2

Answer 4

//नमस्ते
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
int a=1 ,b;
b=a;
cout << b+a;

Answer 5

You haven't initialized b in your code.
