Why am I getting this output?

When I compile the following C++ code using Dev-C++:





#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;iostream.h%26gt;


using namespace std;


int main()


{


int so[8][8], i , j;


for (i=0;i%26lt;9;i++)


{


for (j=0;j%26lt;9;j++)


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; so[i][j]%26lt;%26lt;" ";


if (j==8) cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;


}


}


return 0;


}





I get:


0 0 2237568 16 2237576 9264 2228600 2228224 72


72 2228224 37878912 2089879280 37879504 126488 2 37879288 2089879275

and so on....

Why am I getting this output?
you defined the array, you did not initialize it so the values in the cells are what was in memory at that location.
Reply:bdloving is correct. Those figures are the numbers which are in the memory assigned to your array. They are technically known as garbage and you are supposed to initialize your arrays to sweep out all the garbage.





Give bdloving best answer and be careful about sharing your garbage with us. You never know who's looking.
Reply:change { int so[8][8] } to { int so[9][9] }
