Feb 25, 2010to initialize means assigning an initial state to the object before it is used. This initialization can be part of the instantiation process, in that case values are explicitly assigned to. } an important thing to remember:
At the moment you initialize even one object/variable in the struct, all of its other variables will be initialized to default value. If you don't initialize the values in your struct. How would you use memset to initialize a int array to some value larger than 255?
These are just a couple of examples where it isn't strictly necessary to initialize a variable, since it's set later (but not accessed between declaration and initialization). 0 other ways to initialize an object would be by using pipe (|) to define multiple types which is best if you expect the object to be filled out in the future say by a callback or rest call.
