Uninitialized array with garbage value.

Question

Array follows static memory allocation then why it gives garbage value in case of uninitialized array .and it gives zero when the array is partially initialized?

Answer 1

yes array follows static memory allocation means the size equal to the size of array is statically allocated in the memory before accessing it. Uninitialized  array gives garbage value at runtime because it follows the local variable concept when we declare array inside the function.when static specifier is used for array or array is declare outside the function  then it will give 0 at run time(partially initialized array).
