They should add more answer to that question like:

  • init
  • initialize
  • init()
  • initilizing

Henry,

I agree. I initially submitted initializing, but it was incorrect. I can understand why it was incorrect; the process is not initializing, but rather initialization. I would have preferred a different way of wording the question.

I agree. I typed two of the answers here before googling and finding this thread where I was told the answer was initialization.

Hi Alex,

When you prepare a data type for use, you are initializing it for use. The process of preparing a struct for use is initialization.

Also doesn't accept initialisation, which is what we call it in the UK :P

So, in the UK, we'd say this is shite design ;-)

Yes, this is a poorly designed question. I tried initializing, instantiating and delcaring before finding this thread. This is testing grammer and spelling more than anything else.

Yeah, a very frustrating way to word the question, I think it should be reworded so the answer can be "init" or "initializing"

Adding my voice to the "fix this question" pile. The quiz is only 4 questions long, as well, so getting this question incorrect means one cannot progress any further.

this question really need to be reworked, either completely scratch the question and replace with a new one, or make this a multiple-choice. since the answer is a very specific String, it's pretty easy to mess up when typing
