Here’s the code: #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { int value[10]; int index; value[0]

  • 0

Here’s the code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
    int value[10];
    int index;

    value[0] = 197;
    value[2] = -100;
    value[5] = 350;
    value[3] = value[0] + value[5];
    value[9] = value[5] / 10;
    --value[2];

    for(index = 0; index < 10; ++index)
        printf("value[%i] = %i\n", index, value[index]);
    return 0;
}

Here’s the output when compile:

value[0] = 197
value[1] = 0
value[2] = -101
value[3] = 547
value[4] = 0
value[5] = 350
value[6] = 0
value[7] = 0
value[8] = 1784505816
value[9] = 35

I don’t understand why value[8] returns 1784505816?
Isn’t value[8] supposed be = value[6] = value[7] = 0? By the way, I compile the code via gcc under Mac OS X Lion.

    value[8] was never initialized, therefore its contents are undefined and can be anything.

    Same applies to value[1], value[4], value[6], and value[7]. But they just happened to be zero.
