Variable might not have been initialized error

Question

When i try to compile this:

public static Rand searchCount (int[] x) 
{
    int a ; 
    int b ; 

    ...   

    for (int l= 0; l

        

Answer 1

You declared them at the start of the method, but you never initialized them. Initializing would be setting them equal to a value, such as:

int a = 0;
int b = 0;
