teachers at college told us it is a must to initialize variables.....
When I was in high school, our teacher told me that a simple "int a[5];" (without "= {0};") would initialize the array with zeroes. But it didn't. At least, in old good Borland C/C++ 3.1.
....so, depends on compiler
Global, and local static variables are initialized; local non-static variables are not. I have no Borland compiler at hand, but I bet it conforms to the standard!
