Why is it that other elements become zero when we are putting values for only the first few elements
like a[10]={0} or a[10]={1,2,3}.Shouldnt the other elements still contain garbage value?
Doubt regarding initialization of an array
@Nitin-Bhattacharyya-2319140631658033
It depends upon the storage location, if you declared any type of array without initializing anything as global or static then it has value zero.
If you declare it as local inside any function ie auto without initializing then it has garbage values.
And also if you declare any array with partially initializing as auto then the un-initializing array index will have value zero.
So that means if I partially initialise an array the rest of elements automatically turn 0,that is just the way it is and there is no other explanation right?
