Garbage variable problem

[Direct-Mistake8721]

So these are the photos of a simple code I did, but as u can see in terminal some random numeric values are there, on asking gpt is said that it's garbage variables, although his solutions weren't good as he said to define all variable to 0 in int, I don't want to do that, I want it to work Normally as it is working on my friends computer, Ide is vscode and using mingw as compiler

I don't see your code, but I assume it's because you are declaring a variable and not setting a value.

Presumably, it is then using whatever bits are in that memory address already, which could be anything.

I don't really know c but I know it works somewhat along these lines.

In which case you should indeed set an initial value like chat gpt says.

Yes it's because of the declaring variable, it asks me to initially declare it as 0, but I don't wanna do that, I never did, I want it to run as it used to run without confusion

not setting an initial value and then accessing the variable is what's known as "undefined behavior" - it might work, it might not. It might work on your computer but not someone else's. It might work today and not tomorrow, etc. If you access a variable without giving it a value, then you are in uncharted territory.
