  1. initialization

    Initialization is the process of setting an initial value or starting condition for a system, variable, object, data, or process in computing. This can happen at any point, like when a program starts or when a function is called, and usually occurs before use. Initialization is essential because it helps prevent unexpected output or software crashes due to unassigned variables or incorrectly set systems or objects.
