Why is y = 8 in the below code

Question

Int y;
Int X=3
y= (X<=5)? y: X
Printf("%d", y);

Answer 1

y has a random value because you haven't initialized it with one.

Answer 2

Try to change the two values and see for yourself.

In the beginning, y is uninitialized, so random value in it.

Then, if x<=5 (which it is) y will have the value of y, otherwise of X.

So y still has what it had in the beginning.

Answer 3

Great! Thanks a ton mate. That helped

Answer 4

You mean to say that 8 is a random value? Nothing related to 3+5?
