Initialization Of Variables: When a variable is declared,a memory location is assigned to it.The value in that memory location is also assigned to the variable.This preassigned value of a variable,if not used by mistake,may result in incorrect result.To avoid this situation, a known value is assigned to the variable.This value is assigned to the variable at the time of its declaration.Assigning a known value to a variable at the time of its declaration is called initializing of the variable. For example, to declare variables a,b and c of integer type and assigning values a=220 and b=70,the statement is written as: int a=220,b=70,c;
