To What Value is a Variable of the Boolean Type Automatically Initialized

by

The default value of the boolean type is false.

In Java, local variables (including boolean variables) are not automatically initialized. If you declare a boolean variable within a method or block without initializing it, the compiler will generate an error if you try to use the variable before giving it a value.

For example:

java
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
boolean myBoolean;
// Compiler error: variable myBoolean might not have been initialized
System.out.println(myBoolean);
}
}

In the above code, you’ll get a compiler error because myBoolean has not been initialized before use. It’s good practice to always initialize local variables before using them to avoid such errors.
