- init()
- initilizing

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

2,124 PointsYes, 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.

Courses Plus Student 23,889 Pointsugh... that was frustrating.
Trevor Moore
5,207 PointsYeah, a very frustrating way to word the question, I think it should be reworded so the answer can be "init" or "initializing"

3,166 PointsAdding 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.
tom ding
2,279 Pointsthis 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
Nicholas Westmoreland

38,025 PointsHenry,
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.

4,997 PointsI agree. I typed two of the answers here before googling and finding this thread where I was told the answer was initialization.
