Query regarding FILE *

Hi

When we give the follwing statement in C++

FILE *fp;

In this case does fp is initialized to NULL automatically or not ?

Thanks

That depends on whether the initialization occurs inside an object and, if so, how the object is constructed.

In general, it won't be - so assume it isn't.
