[Gambas-user] C Code character manipulation - alternatives

[nando]

Technically, C doesn't 'put' garbage values into variables.
Those values just happen to be there if you don't set it to something.

Gambas wonderfully sets numeric variables to zero.
You can think of it as NULL, I suppose, but ZERO is a numeric
description dealing with numbers whereas NULL is usually referred
to as something to do with characters,
but NULL it is the value ZERO...so it all means the same
except how humans talk about it.
