java - default values for primitives

Question

In Java, what would a variable of type int hold if it was not initialized (I know that it will not let me compile if I used x directly before initializing)?

say, if I did:

int x;

and how about

int[] x;

Thanks

Answer 1

Instance variables will be defaulted to a 'reasonable' value. Local variables will contain garbage.
