C++ variable

for example look at this code that save the variable named (a)'s digits in array named b👇 https://code.sololearn.com/clZ776WVVxfI/?ref=app if you run it the output is "no output" but if you use endl after b[x] it output correct result i wrote a code yesterday and run it but it results nothing same this code , i looked about 1hours where is the problem but i couldn't find the problem today i wrote another simple code but it results like that Do i make mistakes ?

AliR૯za No, not in C++. When you declare a variable without initializing it, it will keep whatever value used to be stored at that point in memory before it. int main() { { int x = 1000; } //x goes out of scope, and can't be used beyond this point { int y; cout << y; // The compiler may use the same location to store both x and y for efficiency, so this might output 1000. However you can't rely on it. } } EDIT: This outputs 16 11 for me. So, in short, an unitialized variable contains garbage. https://code.sololearn.com/cn5NkZmKpbfK/?ref=app

AliR૯za C++ does not automatically initialize variables to 0 for you.

Exactly as stated by Vlad Serbu. You were using an uninitialised variable, the program probably did not write proper contents to array b. Adding std::endl flushes the output stream, which would give you a wrong output anyways.

It is not stated in the C++ standard. You can get 0 by pure luck - Whatever is left behind in the memory address of what happens to now be the address of x. I'm getting 8 on my side.

Interesting. It's worth noting that you're relying on undefined behavior, and that, if you write "x=0" instead of "x", it works as expected, without a need for std::endl.

Like most user sayed, in standard its not definited a default value for unitialized local not-static variable (differently from global and static variable where uninitialized value must be 0 by standard)

Variables are the names like A = 10; Here A is a variable and 10 is the value of it. Its pretty simple bro.
