Question

When a variable is declared, it may also be initialized (given its initial – meaning first – value) using the assignment operator (an equals sign). What is the initial value of cupSize?

Answer 1

THOUGH THIS QUESTION IS INCOMPLETE, I AM PROVIDING THE SOLUTION AS PER DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES:

1. C/C++

C/C++ does not initialize most variables to a default value (mostly zero) automatically. When a variable is declared , it is assigned a memory location by the compiler and the default value of that variable is a garbage or junk value.

Example;

int A;

cout<<A;

Or

printf("%d",A);

This will display any garbage value in A

2. Python

In Python, A variable needs some inital value otherwise "name is not defined" error is displayed.

Example:

A

print(A)

will cause name not defined error

OUTPUT WILL BE: NameError: name 'A' is not defined  

3. JAVA

In Java, the program will run and throw a runtime error as follows:

int a;
System.out.print(a);

Following error is displayed once the program is run:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - variable a might not have been initialized
