What does assigning ... do in C? Is that just default type value or something?

[–] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 58 points 1 month ago

probably just placeholder because what is actually assigned isn't relevant to the post

it's the easter egg operator. it assigns a random value to your variable. useful for when you need a quick source of good-enough randomness in computer games (/jk)
