Structure declaration question

[Kieth89]

Say I have a piece of code like this:

struct example
{
     char name[50];
     float weight;
     int amount;
};


example object;

Are all the members of object uninitialized?

Are all the members of object uninitialized?

yes. All members that do not have explicitly defined a constructor are uninitialized.

And this simple default behavoir wreck havoc on a lot of C/C++ programs leading to the Java designer to implement default 0, null etc for all variables declared but not initialized in our source code.
