C++ default initialization
<p>According to C++ Primer (4th Edition) by Stanley Lipmann, on page 50 it says:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"Variables defined outside any function body are initialized to 0."</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Based on what I read it seems it is not true.</p>

<p>A global <code>char</code> is default to blank and not 0.</p>

<p>Would appreciate any help.</p>
