How to Create a variable without assigning the value, and assign the value later in C++ ?
In C++, you can create a variable without assigning a value to it by simply declaring it without an initializer. You can then assign a value to the variable later using the assignment operator (=).
Here's an example:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
int myVariable; // declare variable without assigning a value
std::cout << "myVariable = " << myVariable << std::endl; // output the value of myVariable (which is undefined)
myVariable = 42; // assign a value to myVariable
std::cout << "myVariable = " << myVariable << std::endl; // output the new value of myVariable
return 0;
}
Output:
myVariable = -858993460
myVariable = 42
In the above example, we declare an integer variable myVariable
without assigning a value to it. When we output the value of myVariable
, it gives us an undefined value (in this case, -858993460
). We then assign a value of 42
to myVariable
and output the new value, which is 42
.
Another way to create a variable without assigning a value is to use the default constructor of a class. For example, if you have a class MyClass
with a default constructor, you can create an object of that class without assigning a value to it like this:
#include <iostream>
class MyClass {
public:
MyClass() {} // default constructor
};
int main() {
MyClass myObject; // create object without assigning a value
std::cout << "myObject created" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Output:
myObject created
In this example, we create an object myObject
of class MyClass
without assigning a value to it. We then output a message to indicate that the object has been created.
