Line 1:

In [[computer programming]], '''initialization''' is the assignment of an initial value for a [[data object]]. The way how initialization is performed depends on [[programming language]], as well as type, [[storage class]], etc., of an object to be initialized. Programming constructs which perform initialization are typically called '''initializers''' and '''initializer lists'''. Initialization is distinct from (and preceded by) [[declaration]], although the two can sometimes be conflated in practice.
