Sum of an array : What is a exact behavior of the sum of an array, if sum is not defined?

https://code.sololearn.com/cg39UsZGbz4U/?ref=app Is sum defined inside the library? What is the default value of sum? Can someone explain to me what happened inside this situation, please?

AFAIK, Since you didn't initialize sum with 0. Garbage value will be initialized to sum.

It takes some random values left in computer's secondary memory and uses them. It is always useful or I'd even say necessary to initially assign 0 to sum counting variables and 1 to product counting ones. For the same reason, if you declare an empty array it is better to do //int arr[n] = {}; https://code.sololearn.com/cYy6nsSNLl59/?ref=app
