I’m still in the habit of not assigning value in declarations, and I’m sticking to it. I don’t like declarations in the middle of executing code either. When I’m curious about the details of a variable, I look at the top. Heck, I still use i,j,k,l,m,n variables for integers when there is such a thing. Harumph!
