[SOLVED] Questionable answer of a C challenge

Question

Here the code of the question in the challenge
https://code.sololearn.com/cVAI3XovBUHE/?ref=app

To answer the question, you had to enter the number that would have been printed by the program.
The correct answer for the challenge is 0.
However since the array is uninitialised and the program doesn't modify a[8] the output should be a random number saved in the memory.
Am I missing something?

Answer 2

You are right it's printing garbage value which changes often randomly ,but correct answer is not 0 it's also a garbage value!

Answer 3

Make sure to initialize an array before you use it or else just like Chaithra Gowda👑 mentioned, it will print garbage values.
a[10] = {}; should do.
