title: How to check if int is initialized?
body: <p>How can I check if an int I declared has been initialized with a variable?  <code>number == null</code> will not work because ints are primitive types.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13747859/how-to-check-if-an-int-is-a-null">This question</a> is not relevant because the user asks how to check if the int is null, to which the answerer responds to use Integer. However, I want to check if the primitive data type <code>int</code> is initialized.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7509697/java-check-to-see-if-a-variable-has-been-initialized">This question</a> is also irrelevant because that is for a reference type whereas I'm asking for a primitive type. Already clarified -.- and still getting marked...</p>
